There really is no wind (Timeless Road)
A Poem by Richard
There
really is no wind,
the road that went mostly forgotten
It hasn’t forgotten you
The awkward footsteps molded from a decade of angry sun prove that
There really is no time,
according to the power of the light which drags along the hurt road until the
butterfly stops by for a chat
it says “look at us, boy, can you believe the nectar this summer ..
I wouldn’t trade it for the world”
But all the time and wind in the world couldn’t zig or zag (or preamble even)
where timeless road just sits still waiting for the day when the wistful couple
in their barefooted feet stroll carefree at sundown laughing because “I forgot
to turn off the stove this morning” is the greatest concern in life
Sometimes though, when emerald green grass decides to sprout up from a chosen
patch of tarmac where ants and grasshoppers do their bartering business, you
can tell, the road isn’t timeless at all, it’s just patient

I actually consider my style inferior to those who can really write a thought provoking poetry-style piece like yourself ... I think your work is amazing and a few others on here a lot actually,
but I just have to do what I can do so thank you again :)
