A Southern Road In Life

A Southern Road in life

I was driving south along a two lane road between South Carolina and Georgia. 
On the left-hand side of the road there were black ladies dressed
in black all weeping and wailing.

On the right-hand side of the road was a man dressed in a bright yellow 
suit. I interpret this as his representing the deceased soul having passed 
into heaven being happy, gay (merry), free rejoicing. It could be the man
in yellow represented the devil having captured another soul rejoicing
in the same manor. 

The road, I was traveling, represents the road in life we are all traveling
with our interpretations of our passing judgements.

With all due respect, I offer this interpretation. Sorry if it is in error or in
any way offends.
