A Rural Road

To find I will a rural road
Where horse and buggy were the last,
While of today I will unload
And dream only of the past.

Far away from the interstate
Upon a road without a sound
And even though I'm running late,
My way home will be found.

To peaceful pastures like a dream
Of dusty farmers behind a plow,
With great horses by the team
Upon a rural road in the now.

And to stop, the time, I will take,
On a rural road slow of pace
And in the silence I'll awake,
Memories of a forgotten place.
