Today was

freedom

on the open road

Tired

but fueled

by coffee and dreams

My thoughts

to keep me company

As I dictated a movie

to myself

Two girls against the world

Magic at every turn

Then turning around

as soon as I arrived

At my destination

I picked up our oldest,

Driving back

the same way

I’d driven minutes before

But no longer alone

The miles

fled behind us

The sun

On occasion

Splitting through

the rain and clouds

As it followed us home
