The Long Way Home

Our journey spanned the day into night.
We pulled off the road, into the darkness, and rented a room at a quiet motel.

I fell asleep to ocean sounds. In the distance, I thought, so peaceful...

We slept through the sunrise, and awoke to find
the ocean was closer than last night's dream...

We stayed long enough to touch the California calm,
then jumped in the car and r-r-raced back home.
Monday, Monday...
