The Pebbled Highway

Inspired by 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac.

 

The Pebbled Highway

 

 

 

If we counted every sad night

That has eaten up our souls,

If we charted every step

Of the journey off the road,

Might we

Have located that paradise

Where wide-eyed travelers go?

What is that vapoured desert

That snares our dreams;

What is said of

The feeble mist of our tired breaths?

Our plodding feet

Hear only the commands of

Our hopeful hearts,

For we know the way.

Deep down,

We know the way.

Soon, the skies

Will shed their fabled tears.

And those glistening roads that curve the trees

Will take us home,

Home where we always longed to be.

Nice one :) I remember someone to have said that man leaves home in search of something, only to find it when he returns.
