saturday mornings
sun's rising in the east
towels in a bag on the seat
jandals and bikinis
wet bodies warm hands
rolling over for an even tan
long summer days
dusty winding roads
dunes of pakiri
sand between our toes
smell and swell of sea
no thoughts of growing old
bob on the radio
as we wind our way back home
stop at puhoi pub
ginger and whiskey
weekends for being young
friends and fun and free
we were in our glory days
of sun and surf and sea
driving along metal roads
bodies pressed close
on the front seat
hair blowing out the windows
laughing comes easy
as breathing
loving as easy
as feeling
