Top Down

music’s up top’s down cool breeze fingering my hair thoughts drifting by at fifty-five cares dropping like leaves this september day traffic lights in hues of trees the creek below the bridge flows heavy with yesterday’s tears my memories float on by i am free this september day

Now that was perfect, this was warm and sunny and beautiful. A carefree day, a favorite song on the radio, your foot on the pedal as you sing along without a worry in the world. Loved this.
