Cruise Control

Tires slide and screech
A path not yet complete
With memories like sand
Phantom ethers of the mind
Disappear in the wind.

What lies ahead is not yet clear,
I've been driving along, and though I steer
The sand blurs all vision
Sensors glitch and sputter
So I halt now, then hit ignition
Smell the breeze,
The aroma of luxury leather,
Horizons full of freedom

All is one
But there is more
There is two and three and four
There is fast and there is slow
There is the promise of the road

Heading towards the bright city lights
Check the mirrors
Tap the screen
"Turn the radio on"
I want to hear the new tunes
Across bridges in the night.

Your use of metaphors in poems is admirable! You symbolise the journey of life with driving and discovering the unknown. There's that uncertainty of the future but the allure of the road and exhilaration of driving makes it worthwhile. Beautifully written. !LUV

So glad you enjoyed it. Steering through life isn't easy, but we have no choice, so we might as well learn how to drive skillfully and enjoy the ride. Thank you @kemmyb

Show me your ways, master!untitled.gif

😂

The force, you must use 😆

You put me straight into the car and made me experience the typical movements and the feeling that only car drivers have. Very good! I felt reminded of those moments when I turn off the ignition key and am still briefly taken in by the vibrations, the crackling of the dashboard and the smell of the seats.

:)

Life should be like driving a car! Not all of us were born with a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean we can't pimp out our vehicle and enjoy the ride.

Thank you @erh.germany!

I am a fan of all sorts of pimpings. HaHa :D - I once drove a very old Porsche lend from a friend but it was actually no comfort at all. LOL


off topic, would you like to see my very first youtube video? I made a little test production to acquaint myself wit the editor software and threw in some pics and a short video-sequence of self sewn clothes.

A vintage Porsche sounds fancy, though it's probably more the idea than the actual experience!

Please share! I should be doing more video but can't keep all those plates spinning at once. :)

you bet. Still, it was cool to take a ride with this hell of a machina.

You do filming as well? Do you have a channel?

Here is my test piece. I hope, you like it. I totally messed up a huge editing job with two of my projects. meh. So I decided to do something easy peasy. Otherwise, I'd never have gotten started on yt.

Oh, even if you don't like it, "like" it :D LOL I need a lot of fans now.

That's actually a great video that works well as it explores the materials and the outfits. I enjoyed those classic neo-steampunk outfits. I assume you were the model? They fit you very nicely.

Is it common to wear these types of clothes where you live? Or is it more like an alternative counter-cultural style?

I don't have a Youtube channel and most of my old videos are of the experimental kind that I can't share. :)

Thank you so very much. As I am a newby in filming and editing, I was not sure how it's going to be perceived. But then, you are a special viewer like always when you commented on my vintage and sewing blogs. The vest was actually the most difficult thing to sew and I was surprised that it turned out so well.
HaHa! Yeah, the outfit is nothing anyone would wear here on a daily basis. I never went much with the current fashions but liked my own fitting me out. Though I do not counter the culture but just ignore it. I loved thrifting before it became mainstream (or, I should say it probably will become bigger than it was in the last decades).

I can imagine how you experimented with filming, since you do experiment with new things offering themselves (like AI art, for example).

P.S. yes, I was the model.

Nice image, vivid and evocative.
