Let The Dust Settle

Let The Dust Settle

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer

Laced boots pony-up,
no gloss on the cherry red.
Dark clouds are overhead,
And blot out a smile.

L&M packed tight.
Army stamped zippo, gives light,
a slow exhale expels the night.
and the engine roars.

Wild heart speeds away.
As child within pursues the day
Hoping this time to stay.
But the road behind shrinks away.

Don’t go, you hear her plea,
With silent tears they both weep.

Gee
It's a dream of ours to holiday in America, this involving a road trip in a Mustang. I hope beyond hope this comes to fruition :)
Enjoyed your words Cherrie
