Robin Adams and I were driving to southern Kentucky as the sun was setting. Luckily we carry a notebook in the car for just such an occasion.
Will be posted on Robin's page too.
Spotted by the sun
Blinded by the moon
Leaving impressions in your sight
Purple horizons behind
Amber horizons ahead
Cascading autumn colors between, in the cool fall dusk
Caught between blinding day and dark night
The journey takes place
Through a beautiful mountain road
Could be a familiar ride
Or a brand new adventure
Watched by a pale full moon
The man in the moon
Does seem to wink
When he knows you're admiring his harvest beauty
Hiding in the hills
Wishing to catch sight
As the mountain road takes him out of sight
Torn where to look; moon or dusk
Dark chasing light
Or light chasing night
Always different
Always the same
One more night and you could do it again
Because you've been
Spotted by the sun
And blinded by the moon
