# 26

 May sunset river valley drive

 Drama sweeps the sky the clouds smeared pastel against the backdrop

of sunset brilliant perfect

Color bursts inspiration

Soul shaking vision deep trumpeting the end of a day

the beginning of a night

My sweetheart and I leisurely drive a country dirt road

on the way to share moments and times

A rain washed rural road pitches the car back and forth

We drive slow awed by the river valley below

listening to Dylan live Halloween 64

Music, art, expression of the life around us,  the center of our lives

We watch the show in the sky unfolding multiple acts

uninterrupted eyeball candy, the nectar of life

Dripping down the remaining blue vastness,

dripping down through the pastel swashed clouds

dripping down into this river valley, right on the road

hitting our car

Nectar flowing in color electric washing over everything

as we drive pitching up and down

Listening to Derek and the Dominoes live Filmore East

Clapton dropping into the vision

as he dropped through the cords and frequencies unconscious, subconscious,

Almost like he wasn’t there in New York 1970

Almost like he was in the car with us with the sunset lazy river valley drive

Wispy smoke lingers luxurious out of my mouth,

silky velvet spreading out against the vent air

Looking like the clouds now almost disappeared in the sky, reappearing in the car,

The beautiful friend next to me passes the smoke

back and forth

as we slow drive

Looking down the river valley, watching the glorious,

inhaling the glorious with each puff,

Feeling part of the glory

Ready to share moments and times with each other

Spreading the color further into the night

Warming everyone who even sees us

because they see the sunset in our eyes, the glory beaming forth

Making me blush smile giggle the inside child

who knows the good stuff of life, dips their entire face, body, soul in the good stuff of life

and laughs out loud at how good it is
