Sunshine and the Monkey Man. ..from here to there without going anywhere. ..


A night at the fair had drained the young pair..a warm hug good night as Sunshine drove away..its 4am..been a long wonderful day..lots of Delta Dawns belted out on the ride home..Bumper car stories and betting who was gonna finish the last funnel cake. .they had bought 6 more for the ride home..Monkey Man puts his Godzilla PJs on and crawls into bed..

Sunshine. .still laughing at Monkey Mans solo of Delta Dawn and the look on his face as she slammed him into the wall was in her PJ's and and ready for a dream..as she closed her eyes the days slowly slipped into a dream..a thought as she takes that last long breath before sleep settles in..your fondest memories. .she is fast asleep..

Monkey Man..had tossed and turned. .until the bed found him as he drifted he though of all he had shared with Sunshine. .in the next few minutes he sees a rink. .and a wonderful little girl zipping past..as he sits and watches..the room becomes a mountain. .he see that same ray of light sitting on a red coke a cola create..smiling at him...

Sunshine falls into a fell to sleep to awaken to the funny little boy lacing his skates..she remembers the awkward smile..the first time they made eye contact. .as he lowers his head and heads to the floor. .then she sees him dragging his bright yellow banana car up the mountain. .the determination. .the feeling. .the look as he realized his mistakes..the hugs that always make them better..

Monkey Mans was at a baseball game..there way out in center field was his little ray of light..no fear in her as she slapped her glove. .he could hear that's sweet voice here...batter batter..as the lights dimmed and that last song started to play..the waiting as he watches her softly sway to the end of many fine days..

Sunshine was at the same field watching from behind the center field fence..as Monkey Man steps to the plate. .takes a high fast one..gets that one you dreams of getting down the pipe..with the crack of the bat she turns to see where it lands and there is the Monkey Man..his bright orange tie dye..and red shoes. .swaying slowly. .singing out of tune. .watching the stars..

As Monkey Man turns from the stage he sees a little boy waving at him..as he rides his mini to his place and sees Sunshine sitting on his and now her rock..watching the lights. .smiling to the sounds of nothing ..he feels those memories rush past as he sits beside her enjoy the the moments ..Sunshine turns and whispers softly. .its a wonderful dream we share. .lets make it last..Monkey Man takes her hand and slowly they walk to the mini..as she holds on to the new memories left to share. .love ya Sunshine. .dream a Sweet dream
