Highway

Burnt out on dreaming

Chasing a shadow of a thought, 

running down an emotion

Arrive at a memory, 

take a few steps back

Shotgun blast

The highway most traveled, yet rarely observed

Once a two lane artery each way to the big picture, 

now the shrunken vein through a vast desert for a small life lesson

The sand warns never to return to the past, 

but the dormant oasis underneath begs for freedom

Plateau's built on hate and Mountains built on love, 

proving that the grass is greener on the other side
