An Unexpected Vacation With My Sweets and a Travelling Record Player
sitting in front of my record player
i am glad that i fixed it and that i found some 45s and some 78s
my excitement builds as i sift through all of the new discoveries
i am in my element
all i need is a cream soda and some peppercorn ranch sun chips
time is nonexistent
people are intentionally omitted
stress is not even a word
life is a free feeling with an open door policy for the mind
i am glad that i booked this trip
i am glad that i booked a two bedroom cottage this time
i am glad that i chose somewhere other than the beach this time
i am glad to have a friend who told me about myself a bit and recommended this place
i turn off my cell phone
i turn off my tablet
i turn off my laptop
i leave the kids with their grandparents
i bring my Sweets for, EHEM!, Personal Inspiration
she is asleep on the sofa as i write this poem
this leads me to this song called Something So Strong
as i listen, a thought suddenly comes to me
A House May Be Crowded, But True Love Balances Everything Out
that is how i feel when i am unconditionally loved by my Sweets
nothing else can make me feel differently
nobody from the outside can change the world of my thoughts
then suddenly, that song from thunderclap newman pops into my head
however love is in the air of my mind, not an impending revolution
i laugh at the thought and love my Sweets even That Much More.....
