Once More On the Road

It's eleven O three There's little on the street Except my bike and me This dank November night A misty rain is falling Etiolating street lights On this road that I wend I've come to the end Of a long episode So it's goodbye to an old life I'm once more on the road With prospects yet unclear The question is now Where do I go from here My possessions are few Close ties have all been broken I'm starting anew From a home shared with friends To lone basement descent Now what does it all bode So make it one for a new life I'm once more on the road I should feel sad this dark night But though not at my brightest I sense it's alright Through the mist of yet-to-be I see my life extend With deep curiosity I may rescind some old dreams Change my routines And revalue my code And make it one for a new life I'm once more on the road Now goodbye Pimlico Hello London East End And on goes the show Thence the route is unknown And that's part of the game Should not be cast in stone As in song not yet scribed I assert: "I'll survive!" Though I need a reload So make me one for a new life I'm once more on the road

A wonderful poem Geoffrey, I think it would go nicely if you embed the song. I could show you how to put it on. Robbie Williams does a nice version too. Nice approach even when the future looks a little bleak , always believe in Hope....Maria

As you can now see, Maria, I took your advice, and eventually managed the embedding. Thanks for that and your comments.
