Roads






Long are the roads
That leads poets to their pens
Within traveled journeys
Of tears and joyful smiles

 
Dusty pathways
Of what should have
Or could have been
Lies behind footsteps
Placed upon endless miles

 
Dreams laid aside
To wonder of what
Might have been

 
And yet still waits
The road that lies ahead












Between the way it was
And what is yet to be
Calls now the voice
That lives
Upon the distant wind

 
The journey long
The soul begging
To somehow be set free
Before the distant tomorrows
Calls yet once again
To follow

 
Upon poet's page
Becomes distance now traveled










 
A new day dawns
To find a way to take lifes bet
Onward we trudge
To face life's uncertainties


The future just ahead
The past now left
Perhaps to regret

 
The heart begs
To know what lies ahead
But cannot see
The secrets known
Only by taking the next step


And yet...
Still waits the road
That lies ahead
