One Way Road

Few obstacles, few stops Just the road and me The speed limit I decide Feeling truly free A one way road Headed forward No u-turns allowed And to reverse is unheard Slow down now and then Captured by the scenery Maybe fall a hearts prisoner Perhaps too far deep A few thumps here and there A pothole or two Delayed-- a small problem Move on and pull through Sometimes a split pops up Few ways I can go But can never turn back Still a one way road Places can seem familiar Some may be the same Took a wrong turn someplace In this chancy judgment game A tiring trip at times Just want to take a rest Or drive on with no more care Not giving it my best Itching to move on further Get somewhere a little quicker But can only go so fast As I whine and bicker Whether I like it or not I'm always on the go It's just the road and me On my one way road May 2010
