A Dollar Out of Fifteen Cents

Growing up by Lake Erie, I’d watch the sunset over the horizon pretty regularly. It became my happy place. This is about those moments.

roadside paradise
help take me away
from darkness and gloom
i encounter through the day
give me an escape
in the peaceful degree
a warm feeling inside
always a sight to see
guide me through the bad
only the beautiful and serene
make me feel good
cleanse my soul clean
another stop on the trip
glory from above
relaxes my mind
these places i love
nature at its best
my mind becomes clear
around my roadside paradise
i have nothing to fear
