17.04,16 – 100) Everyone still in bed

As I load my car to head

To Austin, no time to say goodbye

Except on the note I wrote

Day startin’ cool an’ grey an’ I’m on my way

Surfin’ the radio as I go

Familiar song I heard for the first time a year ago

A guy with his girlfriend seen, in a place where they shouldn’t have been

The cops arrived before they got too far

Guy singin’ how he fell in love with her in the back of a cop car

I’m on the Panhandle Plain, how good to hear it again

An it warns me beware, drive with care

Cos; if I go too far

I won’t fall in love with anyone if I end up in the back of a cop car.

 

101) I'm still travellin’ along now there’s another song

My eyes open wide, he’s singin’ about the other side

He’d never seen, but God allowed him a glimpse in a dream

He saw flowers stretching for many a mile

Singing of it a a beautiful place to spend your time after life’s end

Seein’ the love of his life again, happy and free from pain

Smilin’ waitin for the day they’d be together again

It set my emotion on the go, I let my tears flow

An thought of Louie and the time comin’

When I’d be taken to abide on the other side

Crossin' the Rainbow Bridge an' hopefully I would see

A happy pain free little pup, his eyes smilin’ when he sees me.

 

102) Radio playin’ away, light rain like a spray

Open the window put out my arm

Rain feels like a coolin’ balm

Even easing the itchin' from the bit

Those pesky flying critters bit

 

103) Getting warm in car

Window down ventilation

Tragedy ahead

 

104) Thump feathers in car

Cardinal lays dead by seat

Neck broken I’m sad

 

105) Beautiful bird gone

Body laid to rest in grass

Spirit flying free

It happened just as a pick up truck was passing, it may have hit the truck and ended up in my car, it was very upsetting.

 

106) Short showers during driving hours

Near Austin, one lasted longer an’ came down stronger

Really began to pour

To some impending disaster, to me inspiration for another score

 

107) Rain really comin’ down, I’m drivin’ into town

GPS on showin’ me the way to be goin’

A voice leadin’ me to a poetry readin’

Through the rain to Recycled Reads again

Write more poems inspiration not diminished

An’ the motel’ll still be there when Recycled Reads is finished
