TAKE A CHANCE

The road to nowhere
or anywhere.
Your choice.
Where to go?
North or south?
East or west?
Home or far away?
Take a chance.
Pick a direction
and just drive.
Drive for hours.
Stop only to eat and sleep.
Where will you end up?
Your heart will lead you,
guide you to the end.
Then stop.
Look around.
Is there where you want to be?
Is this what you’ve been searching for?
If yes, then stay.
If not, go home.
Are you one
for chances?
Go find out.

COME TO ME MY LOVED ONES

Will we be alone when we leave this earth?
Will we have loved ones to support us?
Will they appear in the mist to guide us?
Three names sit on top of the list for me.
Will I ever see them again?
Will I remember my brother,
who I haven’t seen in thirty years?
Will he remember me?
Will our love be as strong?
What about my parents, who
I’ve seen them more recently?
They will not forget me.
They could not forget me,
for I would never forget them.
Come to me my three loved ones
when my time comes.
We will walk together into the bright light.
