Calming Drive
I observe the traffic and chaos amidst the rain.
Monday morning school, the day already a pain.
I vear to take the back roads to collect my thoughts.
The early morning smell, the livestock grazing, a vision never to be bought.
My mind soaks up the vision as the soft music echoes in my ears.
The stress of the morning fades as I reflect on the glory years.
For sometimes I feel as though I’m stuck in the sand.
Looking back in time I find the trigger that lifts me to solid land.
A path that is steady away from the norm.
For the path of the masses will leave me torn.
Easy is the road that others have tread.
It is far more awarding to seek the diverged road in your head.
We are here but for a glimpse in time.
It is up to us to take the leap and trust our mind.
