There's a highway leads to nowhere,
I've been there many times.
For miles and miles it stretches
With nary a soul to find.
There's always been an exit
To get me back to town.
Time and time again
To the lost highway I am bound.
And I know the day will come
When no exit will be found.
The road of life has been kind
To me, and gentle by and far.
That lonely road to nowhere-
I'll trod 'til who knows when.
Put my picture in the obit there,
I won't be to work again.

Aw now I hope that isn't the case! I hope you continue to be cherished.
Nice poem.
Melancholy and lovely Rel...
Ah I understand your perspective on life. ;)
Grand vision of truth. :)
Good yet sad.
sounds like retirement
the river
Been around awhile have you?
so well written and true, but sounds like you've got a bit of the blues?
we all travel that road to nowhere at some point in our lives, can hear this in a country song somewhere
I think this would lend itself well to be set to music. Melancholy and lovely.
a melacholy stunner.
smiles...where here is to hoping that pic does not show up until you have worn the tread off those tires...
Bittersweet and haunting. Your poem seems to be the tale of a poor soul struggling with an addiction. It reads so fluidly. Thank you for sharing this, Rel.
Oh no, they'll have to hire someone new! Who will do your job! Ha, ha! Your poem read like a song! Very nice!
.. enjoyed the rhythm of your Mag!
Oh, that road, yes, I know it. Love the flow of this.
Sad and courageous..life itself..really like this.
You dont have any problems yraversing this road, Rel
I know that mood so well. Well conjured.

Road or river - they all give us a direction to follow...
