The Journey

The road stretches out before me.
The crack centered within its grey paving
runs like a guide wire,
directing my path along its stretching length.
The sounds of wilderness,
calls of forest dwellers,
babbling of brooks,
and mistuned chorus of tree frogs
lull me.
They Caress my inner calm like a lover’s touch.
Tall green trees and dappled sun
light my way
and cool my fervor
for the journey’s end.
