Tangerine Skies

Sunset joyride

With tangerine skies

You wore my sunglasses

And I rolled my eyes

Great Lakes

Selfies breaks

Watching waves

Slowly take

The sun away

We watched the sky

All the while - wide eyed

And we witnessed

Slow dancing stars

Seductively steal the show

How it happened

We’ll never know

We weren’t scientists

Or astronomers

Just two kids alone

Witnessing a miracle

That apparently

Happens daily

But busy lives

And drunken nights

Get in the way

Of witnessing daily delights

It’s no wonder

People fall out of love

And grow tired of all this

It’s working hard

And playing hard

And never slowing down

Living fast

Dying young

Growing old

Never growing happy

And never slowing down
