Roads To Nowhere

I love
to take
roads to nowhere 
it's amazing
just what 
can be found

on the back streets
and dusty 
old high-ways
of streets 
that in country
abound

We travelled past
dirt gravel 
by-ways
past outbacks 
and buildings 
on farms

and came
to an old gravel 
driveway
that offered 
to tourists 
it's charms

The owner 
had built 
wooden fixtures
a high-chair 
to large for a child

a table 
of polished 
brown maple
a village 
of animal twigs 

A rope 
to swing 
across 
rivers 
the day was 
a giggle of fun
our life 
held the joy 
of our laughter 
a day 
of the daylight 
and sun
