Destination: Anywhere

I spy her in my peripheral

Laughing

Transmitting a florescent smile

This asphalt path,

Cut through solid rock. 

Circling mountains,

Cascading over water

Burnt through the serrated bush…

It’s our path to the indefinite

We drift equally for an instant

Each pondering the others intention

A fleeting glimpse into each others lives

Each others eyes.

Until the white undulation quivers

It destroys her focus,

Though she’s had enough

She’s given up,

Floating too close to the edge.

I give a silent snigger

Diverting, deflecting my attention

This asphalt path,

Winding through hills

Relating insignificant towns

Intertwining,

Interlocking upon itself

Enabling exuberant voyage

The sun,

Merciless inferno in the sky

Barer of life on earth

Extends its benevolent rays

Coating all in sight with colour

Reds,

Greens,

Blues,

Whites,

All shoot past my glass confines 

The never-ending circuitry

The ever-expanding course

Forced upon the landscape

To satisfy our growth

This asphalt path I’ve grown to love

It provides me many effects

Drifting along this hardened trail

Bequeaths me yet a different outlet
