 ~REFLECTING MOMENTS~

Homeward  


windmills Pictures, Images and Photos

California's field of vision
brings back fond memories

As these spinning windmills
that decorate emerald hills

What a beautiful vista

How many times
have I been
           here?

Passer-bye's observe

For a moment
everything seems to
                   crawl,,
                          and pause--
like a slow motioned film

As I drive thru hwy 5 and 99
just I daydream
about this and that

Perhaps:
        what was
                what is
                       and what will be...

Poppy's border the freeway
and the local railroad tracks
like sprinkled confetti

Reminding me of childhood
as I would pick a bouquet
for my grandmother
on my way from school

I miss her and my grandfather

I lost my birth parents
too early in life

I miss them immensely

and most of all
I wonder what life would of been like
with them
         in it??

And so
      I drive on...

An occasional rest stop
calls the restless traveler
and a fruit stand for the hungry

I can sense the ocean in the air

The sequoias are just as near

Sea and sand
pine and mountain wood

I am... almost home...
