The Long Road

The long Road I`m going out for another walk at home the silence are oppressive most of the villagers have moved away and some are dead or senile she hates my house, my home it is too silent, and she wants to move in to a town and meet people. I understand her, I partly agree it`s only this, I re-built this cottage and the best years of my life is here I found what I had lost my self-confidence I knew they laughed at me of my dreams I was an eccentric, but here I healed my broken self. I walk on an asphalted road it`s easier that way. I don`t want to go home and be met with truculent silence I wish to walk and walk till the roads end or split into a fork and a sign post will tell me what to do whether I should return or carry walking northward
