John Martin Poet I do not know?

Road To Know Where

The never ending road that pains my heart is one I’ll always be traveling on
Never ending is the attachment I have to this road,
Which will forever be the ground I walk upon
She curves, cracks, and molds into what seems like an impenetrable passage
Know care she has for the traveler
Only a faint glimpse of an escape that will never come. 

From cobble stone to pavement I continue to journey into an unknown future
A journey I’ve known to well and for way to long. 
I cannot leave for I am attached to this road and I feel this road is attached to me
She grants me safe crossing through times I can no longer walk
And will leave me stranded when I can no longer find my way
A fork in the road that must be traveled both ways by one broken traveler. 

My strength is warn and the souls of my feet that once gave me strength
Are now broken and torn
The sprint is now a jog and the jog is now a walk and the walk is now a hobble to 
My unknown destination
Yet attached are we through body and mind and soul
Forever straining the remaining beats of my heart
Until this road to know where ends I will travel with her
And I will remain on the course she has laid before me
For I love her and somewhere in the distance I believe she loves me

Nick Bagnall January 20, 2011 at 5:20 AM A strange yet compelling poem, interesting read, not sure I understood what you mean, which is my failing not yours.
