Road Trips
Getting there should
always be secondary.
Getting lost and
accidental discovery,
The goal.
Seeing you.
The very best road trips
let one find gems,
experiences remembered
the rest of life.
The unquantifiable
smell of a hidden cove,
skinny-dipped with
a best friend.
Sometimes it’s sensual,
Sometimes just cold
And sweet.
Unscheduled extra (free)
fillets-
of-catfish at a
hole-in-the-wall café.
Even the bad stuff makes
the trip worthwhile.
Weekends at an old friend's
on the beach while
the roadster’s
in the shop.
Forgotten essential items?
An opportunity for creativity,
giving necessity its
chance
at motherhood.
It isn’t about the miles…
It's the smiles
with you.
And along the way,
The laughter,
And the new.
Love the where,
embrace the who,
forget all about when,
because road trips take time.
