Biking

you saw it,
you had to ~
My Girl ~
that was me,
maybe not the same
decade, but the girl
and the bike and the
skinned shins on skinny knees
supporting
that smile that lifted the breeze

a little wise beyond
my years
still some naïveté
held my fears
but just let me
get to my bike
and the world could
take a hike
for I had the breeze
and the breeze had me
and blonde hair pony-tailed
along in windy ease

California living meant
more to me then,
good times were happening
and we didn’t know when
the times would change
but day would creep into
another day
and everyone seemed
fairly merry in
their way

how is it some know
that there is more
in store
and set memories aside
as they walk through life’s door

I recall one instant day
Dad said “come what may,
you will want to
remember now,”
and he was right
in his way,
somehow

so from that time
to now, I find
that when I do a
certain thing or two
I say to me
“remember this”
and I put it aside in
a room called “Bliss”

where my biking days
are held
where certain memories
go to meld
where certain smells and sounds
and colors reside
and transport me back
when I want to bide
with my friends
and
with my family
who are not here now

where I recall one instant day
when Dad said “come what may,
you will want to
remember now,”

and we go biking, together

and his smile
is my smile
and we believe in the somehow

Memories are shields somehow that protect and nuture us. They rightly become sacred to us, for we are the stories we tell.

Karilea~
Thanks for the nostalgic ride -

You'd have to know that I'm fond of this one.

"Believing in somehow", great "K".
You took me "somewhere",
I haven't been there for a while.
Thanks.
