racing with the sun
racing with the sun
shadows across the valley
a butterfly sings
racing with the sun
shadows across the valley
a butterfly sings
deep into ground thump
and a foot begins to thump
to be playa bound
through the rolling hills
in among the chaparral
the country slips by
just to catch a breath
pause before the oncoming
monday morning blues
the taste of guinness
sits softly inside my head
saturday ev’nings
gaze into the sky
and stare night’s holdings
a state of wonder
visiting with birds
drifting down just to leave again
espresso delights
with a gentle push
trees leaning with the wind
a bird flys away
an afternoon breeze
carrying sounds of summer
blossoms in sunlight
fading of the light
that once beacon in the dark
what have we become
