Highway of Happy...

Smeared raindrops on the windshield

Silver rivulets on black and glare

Wiper rhythm beating the radio into submission

The warmth of a breathing engine

And coffee too hot to drink

The camera of my mind is out of film

So the album of life is my last resort

Looking back is not forbidden

Just frowned upon...

Waking up too late, I missed my exit

Trying to see where I am

The picture window reflects the now

I had it all mapped out

This was a short-cut to happiness....

Roads get washed away and landslides happen

A real good ride, man. Title's good, language use impeccable - as usual - rhythm is very smooth, it just beats out without a single pause or hiccup. Love the theme, been there done that! Like the beginning... ...the end makes it. respectfully Jim "Laws and rules don't kill freedom: narrow-minded intolerance does" : Race

Thanks for the...

Compliments, I try to be beautiful inside, as the outside has gotten kind of beaten up. When you lead through life with your face, I guess you gotta expect that it will get a few bumps and knocks. Hope that you keep finding my stuff worth reading. ~ Gee

Familiar roads...

I guess I was saying: " best laid plans of Mice and Men go astray." Sometimes not thinking things through, and jumping to conclusions leads us to false trails. Or sometimes the road just gets buried in a landslide or washed away. ~ Gee.
