DESTINY CONTROL

Sitting on a Greyhound awaiting to depart Memphis being the start My Greyhound bus ticket has no specific destination with only “Anywhere Bound” The feeling is where to find the possibilities in where to settle Journey into a new life No fiddle faddle Reclining in my seat, and just imagine my life through the off ramp in discovering my destiny Miles upon miles will give me plenty time thinking while Observing the various trucks, cars and other bus coaches as I view through the bus picture windows Destinations in so many directions, North, South, East and West Remembering an old slogan, “GO WEST YOUNG MAN” There’s much to chose, but don’t dwell on confused As the Greyhound bus wheels roll while kicking up dust and acceleration My journey is the turning point in what is to come Goals centered in my head in how to follow through Destiny in control Perhaps a town or major city being my objective I am very subjective Sense of commitment Courage to move on Through the days and nights What settlement is in sight Greyhound bus, show me the way My journey in the horizon People and places Any place for me to be Just relax and wait and see Mysteries of my journey to anticipate A place I can call home and appreciate Greyhound bus stops here and there A journey I experience that I can only share Memphis was my start I might be San Antonio where I might disembark Texas wind and a Horse ride Adventure that is what the state will provide Fulfillment I see in my face Achievement to follow San Antonio is the place Just for me A place to see Dwell and acquaint San Antonio is my take away New life and friendship I have arrived Destiny control That Greyhound bus helped me to be bold Behold
