The road ahead is wet and slippery.
I follow the red, blinking lights.
My eyelids hang heavy.
My yawns grow wider.
The lights blur together
forming a raging fire.
It fills my windshield.
I sit forward in the red halo.
I must stay awake.
RED
road
READY, SET, GO
We’re moving faster.
We’re getting closer.
It waits
Patiently.
We can’t stop.
We have no control.
When the time comes,
We must be ready.
CURVE

CURVE
Takes one to be different.
To strike out alone.
To pave the road.
For others to follow.
KEEP DRIVING

KEEP DRIVING
Drive until the sun rises,
Until darkness lowers its head.
Drive without direction,
Without purpose.
Feel the wind through your hair,
Slapping your face.
No one can reach you.
No one can find you.
The sound of the wind for music.
The passing scenery for entertainment.
Others pass you;
Others seeking answers.
Find your answers.
Let your thoughts lead the way.
SEA OF GOLD
The sun sets
on glistening sand.
The ground splits open
to reveal a path.
Miles into the distance,
the path continues.
Through the mud,
you trudge.
Sinking into the muck,
you forge ahead.
Roadblocks or rocks
won’t deter you.
A crooked road it may be,
but follow it you must
until the bitter end.
THE ROAD TAKEN

The road curves.
It straightens.
Past meadows.
Crowded cities.
Miles of pasture.
Windows open.
Wind rushing past.
Follow the birds.
Until the next town.
The next city.
The next stop.
Engine rumbles.
It dies.
Destination reached.
Time served.
TOUCH THE RAINBOW
TOUCH THE RAINBOW
I take the winding path shaded in red
instead of hiding in my comfy bed.
The road widens and narrows its scope
as it weaves away from any hope.
Blood red threatens the night sky
as laughter follows me high.
Rivers of crimson red coat my tired feet
as I walk the road of shame and defeat.
Why cannot life take the high road?
I ask if I may be so bold.
Ahead I see a bright light
as I rise with all my might.
I run toward the rainbow in my mind
in the colors and hues, I hope to find.
