A New Road
I take to the road
when loneliness sets
in and I feel the
hard times seeping through.
Nothing clears these thoughts.
When I reach a dead
end or when I am
lost, the journey takes
me to a detour.
I find a new road.
It liberates me.
Through wet autumn days
I drive the road like
I could never die
in the worst rainstorm.
