Heading Home
Half past six, we’re tooling
down the highway in our toasty car
through single digit temps;
red and white lights slicing
charcoal inky darkness.
Your hands on the wheel,
my mind meandering.
Over my right shoulder,
Orion keeps company
with a waxing gibbous moon,
while, through the speakers,
a favorite troubadour tries to tell us,
“… anywhere’s a better place to be”;
but, tonight
(you, me, heading home)
I have to disagree.

Pamela, this is so heartfelt!
ReplyDeleteHarry was one of my favourites when I was in university, got to see him a couple of times when he came to campus.
Like how he finished with "All my life's a circle". Great link to share--that album cover is still sitting on a shelf here.
Did you ever here the tribute album with Springsteen and others? It is great, especially the words from the Boss!
Have a great day!:)
A favorite of ours too -- such a great storyteller with music! Will have to look up that tribute album. Thanks, Patricia! :-)
