Going Back

The blue endless sky
Lies far far above me
The tall towering trees
Stretch far far above me
The pokey green grass
Lies beneath me
On this cool spring day
I hold my hand up high
Trying to touch the trees
Spinning round and round
The trees and the sky blend
A breeze lifts my long hair
Chilling me real fast
It seems all of a sudden
A storm has moved in
A hard rain begins to fall
My feet bare
I run through the ever deeping mud
I reach a muddy dirt road
Im wet and now it seems im lost
As this road was not dirt
When i went into there
And my car was right here
A dated car stops next to me
The man driving is dated to
His hat and suit is real old
He asks what is a lady doing out here
I get in his car at his wish
Just for kicks I ask the date today
Meaning to make fun of him
He replies with out missing a beat
April 30
What's the year i ask
And again with out missing a beat
He states 1930
I begin to laugh
As i know this is a joke
When i whent into the woods
It was April 30 1990
