The Getaway
By
Steven L Herring
Some silhouette of a sad song
Quick as it came
just as quickly it was gone
The monster in the sky
breathed its fires
put some glass in that hole
Peel tires
Chasing that blue sky
til it gets away to space
The stars collide with the mountains,
only here to make their case
for quiet
for peace be still, child!
Feel that mountain air
or the hot sand on your toes
Taste the salty overspray
Smell the sun-screened skin
basking in the moment
Awaken the sleeper within
Put em down and feel the wind
dancing in your hair
Tussled and tangled
Smile on your face without a care
Ever wanna pack up the car
and go somewhere?
Anywhere really
Not to run
but just to get away from here
and go there
