I cannot speak for all who stem
'Long roads less traveled
as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
by words they spoke and did
not say.
Each road is long, though short it seems,
And credence gives each road a name
Of fantasies sun-drenched
in beams
Or choices turned to darkened dreams,
To where each road wends just the same.
From North to South, then
back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking
roads that traveled West.
This journey grows now to its end,
As road reflections lined in chrome
Give way to
roads with greater bend
And empty signs that still pretend
They point the way to home sweet home.
But all roads
lead to where we go
And where we go is where we've been,
So home is just a word we know,
That space in time most
apropos
For where we want to be again.
For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From
day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is going to be
Another road - or just a place. |
 
“We are all visitors to this time, this
place. We are just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to
grow, to love... and then we return home.”
