On the Winding Road
On the winding road I walk in life,
The scenes rapidly change by the day
Flash cards of signs are in front of me
I find around each winding corner
I seek out the simplified beauty in a war zone
Cannons explode at the nearby shooting range
As someone prepares for the worst to come
In all that is happening day after day after day
The birds scatter and my dog trembles
I say, “Everything will be ok”…
But will it be? No-one really knows anymore
Lies consume the media flow …
As I research to find the facts and truth
Where every day, educated whistleblowers grow
Desperate to help others with what they see
The winding road will keep on winding,
I hold onto gratitude for every little thing I have
And every person who understand and cares
As the seasons change bringing new scenery,
I capture every scene I can in my memory
So when those dark nights arrive and I cannot sleep,
I have peaceful scenes I’ve gathered on the winding road
To think about, to rest, to heal and recover!
