I've Landed

A lot has happened in the last few days.

I want so much to write everything, to sing, to dance, to fly back.

I think I'll break it up into a few little pieces, until I get my title.

Freedom

I flick my wrist and punch the accelerator.

The pressure builds in the turbo with a whistle and German Bob surges forward.

The landscape changes, golden crops to green fields to pencil rows forests.

Here? whispers a sweet voice...with a smile I pull the car over to the side of the road.

Watching the other dance, lost in moments of captured light and shadows bent, I realize I'm completely content.

I had never had a holiday like this, I was almost lost in the middle of nowhere, behind schedule for the next checkpoint, standing in the middle of a pine forest doing pretty much nothing.

And there was nothing else in the world I would rather have had been doing.

The dance had finished and my gaze is finally noticed, silly smile is met and I climb back into the car and start the engine.

Like the overused imagery, of an old american pickup cruising down the endless highway, a blue vw tears into the long straight road.

To infinity and beyond.
