The Moon in the sky

You are a moon in the sky
a lullaby at bedtime
A cry of happiness
A bear hug when I'm surrounded by kittens

You are my breath of fresh air
When the forests are burning
My go to in a "moment"
A cold drink on a hot day
A sunset on the beach

Your what I desire on a not so desirable day
A painful burn with oil that is soothed by aloe
You are what seems like 20,000 miles away
at my finger tips.

You are my music when the speakers are blown
My sunshine that breaks through a cloudy day
My smile when my face is stuck in a frown
You are my upright...when I am upside down.

You are.

THE LONG WAY

It’s a long way home
When you can’t see straight
And the yellow lines are crossed
And your foot can’t find the brakes

Its a long way home when the tires are worn

When your car is shaking

The ruts keep pulling you back and forth

And you have given it too much gas.

 

Its a long way home when there is no road

or the road you are looking for is suddenly gone

so you take a shortcut, which leaves you stranded

Somewhere...but who knows where.

 

Its a long way home when your radio is blaring

and the words don't make sense

but the noise keeps you driving

The words take you somewhere....

 

Its a long way home when the stars don't align

and the moon isn't shining

and the streetlights are burnt out

and there''s no gas station open for directions.

 

Its a long way home when you don't know where it is.
