driving my little red jetta
the sunroof open
90 miles per hour
on the toll road to mountains where the air is so...clean
away from the city
along the winding roads
up to where i would experience one of the most important times of my life.
it was a turning point.
finally able to experience a childhood
a youth
becoming independent
of him.
it's so damn powerful...the music
there i am again
driving around the city...the music is so loud
and i'm barely aware of anything
except how good the sunshine feels on my face.
it's so damn powerful...the music
i'm there now.
i'm twenty something and single...enjoying a life I created.
feeling beautiful and strong.
i could do anything then.
...i still can.
Did you write this? This is really powerful.
ReplyDeleteyeah. i was listening to music from when i lived in laguna hills, ca and i was immediately transported back there. sunny and 70 heading down to the beach or the weekends where i spent the winters teaching kids and adults to snowboard.
ReplyDeleteit was a big deal to me.
anyways, it was pretty damn cool to feel that again.
time passes so quickly, especially when it feels like you are doing nothing important.
hum...
