[hometext] => A road song......
[bodytext] => Life is like a dark old highway You can never see very far You are the better man-if you can see further than Where your lights shine down the tar. I’m on this dark road going nowhere In my lights a dimming line Another job all done-and another is begun What has happened to my time? Light specs out there in the darkness Each one shows a different life A career of slipping tar-singing songs without guitar Fear just cuts me like a knife. (CHORUS)And all I am is older With more weight upon my shoulder Where’s this highway heading to? And life upon this highway Has got no shortcut byways And while I drive I think of you. I drive in darkness never knowing If I’m going forward or moving back I need to find out soon-or I’ll keep on playing this tune Is something out in the black? I look around in all directions Tension blinds this country boy A happy face of a fan-don’t give comfort to this man Nor does laughing, acting coy. I follow signs back to my hometown Back across the swirling streams You don’t see me at my best-darkness covers this road’s test As I strive to realise my dreams. And I see a bright light out there She shines as brightly as a beam But I can’t touch her until-I reach the further hill She lays and waits there in my dream. (CHORUS) repeat: And while I drive I think of you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
