riding in cars

we are riding down slim narrow lanes, edged by trees and bushes and grass darting in through the windows, all 5 of us wedged into that tiny car which has seen so many adventures and been such a part of our lives. the sun is out and every window is open and our hair rushes from side to side and front and back along with the turns of the road and the wind through the windows. sometimes her hair is in my face and my eyes, sometimes his twines together with mine, brown and blonde and purple, loose and dreaded, til i am not sure where my hair begins and where theirs ends. the music surrounds me, takes us over, til we are all singing along, hearts in our mouths, on our outstretched hands, mine belongs to you and you and you and you, and i love you all and i wish this song would last for ever and ever, that this moment was all there was, for eternity. i could be happy with that, this moment of pure love, where all i am is love, where all we are is love incarnate, shining pure and bright, so brightly i cannot see anything beyond the insides of this car and your faces and god, i love you so much.
