Curtis Johnson Poet Narrative

This Way America

It was just yesterday that I found myself in a nonturning lane.                                                                                The only problem was that I discovered it too late and was                                                                                   already in the turning position which meant that I had to                                                                                          yeild to what car was in its proper lane.  Fortunately, unlike                                                                               myself, The driver was a clear headed person, and I was able                                                                                                to make the turn without consequence.                                                                                                                               

It was some 15 or more years ago that I found myself lost                                                                                         a rural area new to me. Without phone, GPS, or road map,                                                                           and no one in site to assist me, I did not know what  to do.                                                                                                 It then accurred to me that if I could locate the position                                                                                                             of the sun, I could find my way out of my predicament.                                                                                        Locating the sun setting in the west, I followed the sun,                                                                                                    my yellow bride road, and found my way home.

In my opinion, like me, my dear country America has lost
her way and many are praying that she finds her way home.
In a very real sense, I was glad to hear the sun say to me,
"Sir, this way home".
