Sunshine Memories (Spontaneous Roadtrips)
Salty air scented strangely sweet
Grains of thought exfoliating two feet
Wind tousling auburn locks of hair
Streaks of sun caressing skin bare
Listening to nature’s soundtrack
As waves give continuous playback
Eyes shut to life’s disarray
Enjoying summer’s gorgeous day
But all too soon the setting sun
Will stain the sky blue undone
And as the darkness settles in
The stars in midnight seas will swim
Driving back through the night
Double taking familiar sights
Of this season as it fades
Heading towards autumn’s leafy shades
