May I hold onto
These small memories with you
To chase the darkness
Away so we can relax
Bathed in afternoon sunlight
Tag: travel
Joyous travelers
Thank you for sharing in wine
Stay awhile longer
Raise your glass to celebrate
A toast in honor to Carol
Those unplanned journeys,
Bear some of the greatest tales,
Strategy be damned!
Take the long road on your right,
Delight in the unknown curves.
Trundling mornings
Accented in small petals
Pastel vanilla
Perfumed breezes pass me by
Giving way to cold showers
What lies before me,
Is a road well traveled, yet-
Why do I pause so?
Is it failure that roots me
Or the fear of my success?
Run away with me
Retreat into the mountains
Up where the wind howls
With us wolves who cannot help
But sing along at the moon.
A door blocks your way
What lies beyond we will see
Starting with a key
Turning possibilities
Into fresh realities
A steady rhythm
You, me, and where the road meets the sky
We laughed our way South
Cheerful Bluebonnets waving
As we pass at highway speeds.
Oh California
Stepping of the airplane brings
A wave of Ocean
Cypress and a sense of home
Or at least a memory
What new adventure,
Breaks along the horizon,
Behind Mount Rainer,
A shadow or a sunrise?
Perhaps they are the same coin.
