Country Roads

At the top plateau of the

Sky-lit sea

One white-winged glory

Sailed, surfing air

Cutting the wind

With her grace.

A sweet country road

Followed and raced along

Tall stalks of still green corn.

And I still remember the

Dollops of clouds that

Ruled that day,

Prephorated and very sedated

Covering a sea-lit sky.

I remember thinking

I wish you were here.

Very good descriptions and yet so simple. I loved the lines --
"At the top plateau of the
Sky-lit sea
One white-winged glory
Sailed, surfing air
Cutting the wind with her grace.
A sweet country road followed and raced along
Tall stalks of still green corn. "
The lines so much fall into place and gets the flavour of the surroundings quite well.

I love this ending, I've had many experiances like this. Where I wished that person were there.
I've been in the city and while it has its charm, the contry will always have a place in my heart. There is such beauty there.

Don't you love road trips? Obviously, you were really inspired when you wrote this. Keep up the good work!

I've been on many road trips through Virginia... I think I was a bit more sedated than the clouds... but, yeah, it's like I went on a little road trip in my head :-) Good stuff.
