I Have Miles To Go

I’m driving down the road I have miles to go before I sleep I was standing in still water when it seems it got too deep The sun goes down as I am pulling in the drive The daylight is fading, night has arrived. The stars shine so bright they catch my eye There are so many I give counting them a try It seems to take forever as the time passes by The vastness of the sky so much larger than I. The moon begins to rise as calm begins to grow It seems the sky at night is putting on a show I wonder where I fit and if anybody knows All of a sudden a cool night breeze blows. As I sit down to write my heart feels content I look at the time and wonder where the day went I receive some replies to intentions I sent I smile when people understand what I meant. I still have miles to go but they will be there tomorrow The joy inside my heart overwhelms all the sorrow I lay my head down and close my eyes It’s funny how every day time just flies?
