Risking the Perils of the Long Road

Risking The Perils Of The Long Road Sitting so happily silent as a sleeping toad Wild forest stirring my thirst for adventure Sun wakes me, soon walking down this long road Racing stream alongside a great thirst quencher. Ahead are fields of gold covering acres of wheat I hear fantastic thrills and ladies a'calling Mystery awaits the bold, the dreams I shall meet Not to fear the wickedly bad and the falling Happiness, song and love- food that I shall eat Onward! Now time to stop the useless stalling. My mind dreaming of the first lady I will kiss There is pleasure in the sweetest anticipation And love dancing my life must never dare miss Songs flying forth to claim her great adulation. Each curve sends me into its beautiful new realm Where Sun sets on my heart's dearest destination Treasures and dreams in the bounty, so overwhelm Spirit soon speaks in joyous and dear affirmation Ahead a golden palace shines in its deep creation Granted the miracle far beyond humble expectation. Never again sitting as silent as a sleepy ole toad Treasures ahead, risking the perils of the long road! R. J. Lindley Feb, 25th 1972 NOTE- Presented as was written decades ago , no editing...
