Open Road Summer Poem by Maya Hanson

When May fades into June
and the days stretch ahead of us
like shadows on a warm summer night

When the breeze lifts the branches,
when the sunlight tells a story
I'll meet you where the pavement ends

Just an open road,
a beautiful day,
feeling like we can't lose

When the trees come to expect us
coming out the screen door every day,
and the winter frosts are all worth it

When we're running forever
through cornfields and memories,
I'll meet you at the edge of the world

We can leap off the tallest mountains,
run out of breath, rush the hay bales
and fall in love again and again and again

Just an open road summer,
a beautiful day,
feeling like we can't lose
