That Old Dirt Road

Every once in a lifetime You find some one special They penetrate the spectrum's of the lines That border your heart You are left empty handed God, wishing for another day In which you can somehow explain Who you are What you mean Without making a complete fool of yourself I don't know about wishes For I've never had faith on one being granted I pondered to myself about closing the door To save my heart and my integrity But I was stoned by the sunlight at dawn And the sun, I finally did see Maybe it's a farce, a falsehood of sorts Brought about by good hopes I don't know But I think I feel so good about who I am And this is a surprise, so unplanned There's a smile on my face and I'm responsible For I have given faster and farther than my roads would have led me If I had taken precaution Though I am worn with physical exhaustion The light that shines in the window is such a beautiful array I just want to take a long walk on that old dirt road today

You played the title line very nicely into this poem. I really like it.

I used to take a lot of long walks about the time that I started writing and could not stop, sweet beautiful Lucinda ~ Time to be with, `OUR BEAUTIFUL FATHER IN HEAVEN,` the trees the birds the skies the waters people passing by and on and on, `HIS CREATIONS` ~ I miss those times but at the same I do realize that they are merely a prelude unto an indescribably much more Divine as beautiful moment to soon forever be * I love your painting tis very beautiful amid many lights ~ Love, John
