Looking for that Highway

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSAlwXq6VDA

Life wears me out with its

twists and turns, and

hairpin curves.

I keep waiting for

a long, peaceful stretch

of a highway, bathed in

the rising sun.

A golden wheatfield to

to the left, a moss-covered

pond with dragonflies to

the right.

The road turns to gravel 

and climbs rapidly uphill.

There are signs along the

way that promises the world.

The road gradually turns

to dirt and ultimately

disappears.

good stuff. the ride can be rough while we wish for smooth sailing. oftentimes it seems as though no matter which path we choose its bumpy and ends nowhere. this made me think that it's not about the destination but rather being able to just enjoy the journey, ride the bumps and maneuver the "curves" as you say,

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it.

Beautiful presentation of environment. I love curved roads than straight roads. Good poem

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you. I appreciate the comment.

Roads do have a way of changing rapidly, giving us the impression we have lost the way. But if we keep our eyes fixed on the road, the dingy scenery on either side will not deter us.

That is so true, thanks, John.
