I came across this poem that I wrote last year, I wanted to share it with you..

"The Fringed Jacket, the Car, and the Hippie Girl"

by Amber Moonstone 10/03/06

The air was cold this morning
I put on my brown fringed suede jacket.

Wearing this nostalgic jacket;
made me think of days gone by.

I said to myself, "I don't feel like time has passed"
but reality tells me it certainly has!

In my mind, I am still that hippie 17yr. old
on my way to school in my 65 convertible Chevelle;

Looking all cool and stylin in my leather jacket,
and suede floppy hat to protect my hair from blowing.

The hair was my trademark,
Long, shiny, and straight.

I look in the mirror now,
and I still see that big eyed beauty.

Today, I was a bit sad as I remembered
that moment in time as clearly as if it were yesterday.

I cried out, that I wanted to relive those amazing days
driving in that 65 convertible Chevelle on the way to school!



Author's Notes: Those were the days, the early 70's, listening to Santana, "Black Magic Women" on the radio, driving to high school. Nostalgic day today, I cried happy tears, because I haven't lost that youthful feeling deep inside of my soul. Thank you God/Goddess for keeping my spirit and soul young at heart.

Peace, love and Light,
Amber Moonstone
