Truckin'

Outside city limits

All bets are off

Just stars and moonlight

And off-road trails lead the way

A bed of pine and earth await

Bare feet and hand prints in the clay

Round and round a fire

With fireflies and a dancing bear

But first, set it to cruise control

Enjoy the scenery

And hum

Fingers tiptoe to my lap

Breathing in and out

Just...roll. on. slow.

Have mercy on the adornments

Take the shoulder a little too fast

And crash into another dimension

Come into the promise of untamed land

A grove of wild cottonwoods and prairie grass

An oasis whispering slide away

I confess I dream of this and more

My body aches, it screams

All I need...
