She glows like the sun and shimmers in the heat my little run-about that can’t quite make the hills and I change, change again, will it with my mind, but only passion moves it to reach the other side. She’s a baby on the road maybe like my inner soul and succumbs to the dominant, forceful, four-by-fours but vibrant like the sun rising/setting without rest she joins her heart to sky and pretends that she can fly. I too can pretend though I suffer in the end and too I can fly though only in my mind but together she and I will ride a bumpy road and maybe if I’m lucky she’ll show me how to love her. But it’s only a machine like a human being new at first, growing old, chewing up the miles, till finally it’s time, time to say goodbye, to all it could have been if it hadn’t hugged the road. “Sunshine” is her name and we will reach the sky if all the changes needed happen smoothly up the hills but only if I love her will I ever truly fly!!

Yes, but wouldn't it be great just to glide through life smoothly without having to change and change again? |
