Baby, You Can Drive Your Car
For the women of Saudi Arabia who will be allowed to drive in June 2018
Tell the wind you are coming
Turn the thrum and haw of eons
Into gathered wing
Upon some foreign path
Let the sun and star guide
Your maiden wander
Keys like sweet jangled music
An exquisite symphony in your hand
Hear the honk and purr
Of wild echo let loose
As you venture fearless
Into the dark unknown
Rejoice the light
Filtering trees
The history sparked
Of your sweeping passage

“honk and purr
Of wild echo let loose” is fun, Sylvia. I did not know about this development.
Really nice Sylvia! I love the title!
Thank you both for your kind comments!
I love all of this but those first 2 stanzas are so beautiful.
My daughter gets her drivers license on Friday! This is fitting for any new driver! Love “Keys like sweet jangles music”….
Good luck having a new driver in the family!
