Long lonely highway
Stippled asphalt
Humming rubber
Eating up the miles
Alone in thought
Serene solitude
Long lovely highway

Choices
I make choices
Sometimes they’re wrong
Sometimes they’re right
Sometimes they’re wrong
Sometimes they’re right
Sometimes I know
Which way they’re going to go
Even before I make them
More often they go
The way they’re going to go
Long before I see the right or the wrong
I make choices
Sometimes I realize
Sometimes I don’t
Until they’re in the rear view mirror
Curves
The twists and turns
Of highway curves
Carry me
So far from here
Of highway curves
Carry me
So far from here
No matter
All the miles
I’ll go
The turn for home
Eventually comes
Curves twist back upon themselves
Speed ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #138
Odes to a different time
Built for speed
Lived at a Main Street pace
The paradox
Of a mechanical world
As seen from this virtual realm
Because here am I
Everywhere at once
Yet nowhere at all
The Long Straight and Narrow
Some roads are a joyride
Some roads are a roadtrip
Some roads are a journey
Some roads are a roadtrip
Some roads are a journey
And some roads are the long haul
Running straight and narrow
Ending somewhere beyond the horizon
Roll onto one of these
And I’ve made a commitment
Right to the end of the line
Past and Present
I take the old roads
The back roads
The scenic routes
In the off-season
The back roads
The scenic routes
In the off-season
I love the places
Which carry the past
Into the present
Better still, the places where
Past and present co-exist
Without need for justification
Rangeland Sunset
Making time
Across a wide flat land
Sky burnished amber
Prairie icons
Punctuate the horizon
In a place of
Simplest existence
Simple and hard
And I drive on
Across a wide flat land
Sky burnished amber
Prairie icons
Punctuate the horizon
In a place of
Simplest existence
Simple and hard
And I drive on
City Light Homecoming
Driving down
From my mountain high
Headlights
Tail lights
Darkening sky
From my mountain high
Headlights
Tail lights
Darkening sky
On the Sound
A sheen of cobalt and amber
Twilight
Cloud light
The last burning ember
A city beyond
Awaiting, my home
Hearthlight
Heart light
The end of my roam
Rolling Hills
I roll
Into land
Which swallows me
Whole
Into land
Which swallows me
Whole
I mind
Not a bit
Becoming one
With it all
Just me
And the land
And the dance
Of the road
