Sweet dirt road

I said I could drive this way forever
Doing eighty something nice and slow
She said so is this your kind of heaven
I said its a sweet dirt road

You glide and drift sometimes when its soft
It may smooth the bumps may slow you down
Or leave you marooned a while

Gently shakes the wheel under  my hand
No rush the land passes still and slow
I could drive this way forever

Smooth and speedy now but maybe later
Rough like it was before, that time i nearly lost it
Driving fast as you can without losing control

​It's a sweet dirt road

Beautiful poem.

Takes me back to when I was 11, learning to drive on dirt roads, surfing their many surfaces (I came out of Africa). And then transformation in the rain, when the dirt turns to mud, dangerously slippery slidey, until it tries to grab you like glue. So exciting!

Happy times and lotsa luv to you all.
