We're different roads
We walk divergent paths, you and I,
Two distinct journeys, like parallel lines in the sky,
Our minds, a dichotomy, a clash of thought and deed,
I navigate logic's realm, while you follow feelings' creed.
Our communication, a discordant symphony,
I'm measured, you're impulsive, a contrast in harmony,
My words, a calculated risk, yours, an emotional release,
We're worlds apart, in every

Forks in the Less Walked Roads
I learn to hold a rose’s thorn,
without a flinch, without the scorn,
To withdraw warmth from tempered spring,
Coiled within a cold, hard steel ring.
In alleys closed by brick and stone,
I press my ear for echoes’ tome.
Sometimes the stone rings hollow—
Hidden behind a door I can't follow.
I set my old names down, one by one.
Confronting eyes I

All Roads Lead You Home
The memories of ties that bind
Are rooted deep within the mind
Though we might wish for something new
Down in the heart we know it’s true
We travel so long and so far
Here we can be just who we are
Step by step we’re all moving down the road
Take me home…. Take me home…
In our lives we all need

Tanka-Haiku Surprise
On a sunny day,
we went to get a dogie.
Driving the back roads,
Excitement was in the air.
Would our new pet be waiting?
We looked all over,
surprise ~ there sat my angel,
heaven had touched earth.

Roads We Chose
Roads We Chose
If you travel down the wrong Lane
where humanity is swept away
with hate and viral diatribes
well then you know
Tom Petty
has inseminated his seed
they knock on all doors
if a narrow mind will answer
ring ring
oh ,my hatred sings
do not be a little mind
unless genocide is your thing

LOVE ROADS
Love roads are all around, we can pick the best road.
Sometimes we travel on a road of love, we find it nice and sunny and smooth.
Sometimes we pick a road that looks unsure, not easy to see the end.
Sometimes we are on a road that feels and looks good but turns out

Roads on Time's Landscape
We navigate life's stanza's quirky rhyme,
as through obscuring fog we strain to see
two well worn roads on the landscape of time.
One leads through the mist of what's yet to be,
revealing lofty mountains we will climb,
and a grown prince and princess, you and me.
Images, sometimes false and sometimes true,
we discern what will

Dusty Roads Take Me Out
Dusty roads take me out
To the furthest reaches -
To places not thought of
Way off highway stretches -
To the rocky vales where
A lonely thrasher calls
And scarcely people hear
His excitable songs -
To where a streamlet flows -
Whatever it be named -
Where a

The Main Roads
The main road lies dormant, its houses seemingly asleep. But at 6 a.m., life bursts forth in a flurry of activity. The heavy traffic that streams towards Jack in the Box Gully is relentless, a so-called alternative route. No rest for the weary, as the relentless tempo of modern life takes its toll.
Balance seems irrelevant,

Country Roads
Dust on my boots, sun in my eyes,
Rollin’ down a road where freedom flies.
Fields of gold, wind hums a tune,
Sky so wide, it swallows the moon.
Country roads, take me home,
Where the river sings and the tall pines roam.
Rolling hills, a southern breeze,
Ain't no place I'd rather be.
Mama’s voice calls soft and sweet,
Dinner’s on, and the

Country roads
It’s always been a dream of mine
To walk down country roads with you
With sunshine on my shoulders
back home again to what I knew
I grew up in the mountains
The Rocky Mountains high
Where every day was diamond
Neath the wide Montana sky
We all would visit grandma
In a much loved old homestead
Where grandpa played his old guitar

Converging Roads
Two friends converge along life's stormy road
as destiny is whispering in their ears,
"Don't wander past this gift I have bestowed,
the love that you've been seeking all these years."
They halt within their tracks and contemplate
upon the voice and what they hear it say.
It softly tells them of that one soul

Roads
When it was over we had to go.
There was no turning back and for a brief moment
there was a void between the past and the future.
Our paths lay before us as many long roads each demanding a choice
Some knew exactly where they wanted to go, some had no idea
Some went where they were
