ROAD NOT TAKEN

napowrimo#11.....using the prompt...things I didn't choose


ROAD N OT TAKEN


putting my foot on the pedal
laying rubber down the interstate
looking for that gravel road less travelled
of dust and dirt
to set me free
believing a road is just a road
no matter if its Seattle or San Antone
missing that exit never known
where it went
what would have been
faceless ghosts or forgotten dreams
jesus on the cross
blinded by mean beams
hearing voices of lost prisoners
never noticing the miles
screaming at the scenery
at midnight or dawn
always moving on
sometimes missing that place
never been never seen
on the road to San Antone
the road not taken

The road to St Antone is the one I am searching for even though I know I have been up and down it so many times already!

This makes me want to get in a car and find one of those "gravel roads less traveled."
