In autumn set

Now like the sun in autumn set
the once attached and well entwined
moves into another’s care
and I can’t get where I need to be
now that the deal is done.

I was first in line for my Sunshine
and that’s something I have to know
when the checkered flag no longer waves
for stragglers approaching the end
of life and love’s corners and bends.

It’s ownership, see, of actions and deeds
and the concentration of thought
that sparkles the inner and outer
and makes for a smoother ride
but I’ve bought now the blue, the blue of sky,
and the blue of this woman’s eyes.

It’s larger and bigger and grander – deluxe
with conditioning for the enflamed
and power behind the steering
hidden like that of love
and just like me it sings and purrs
with the voice of a man-made fool.

But somewhere within, deep within,
is the spur to chew up the road
and go, just go, from this place of gold
to the open fields of fresh air
where every breath is free of dirt
and the heart beats in tandem with love.

Oh, but the sun is in autumn set
and sunshine orange no longer new
goes next door from where it was born
to allow for a host of new memories
to come creeping in with the blue ~
that always reminds me of you!

OMG, but this is me...only not my words!
LOL, but I enjoyed this immensely!

Midnitesun - Yes, I think many of us feel that way at times but perhaps we need more than a new car to make it happen. Thanks so much for the read.
