A ROAD TRIP

Source:pedromirfilho 

I’m taking a road trip.

I shouldn’t have let that slip.

I’m trying to get away

To find a new place to stay.

Where troubles are left behind.

A place that no one can find.

Please don’t follow me.

I yearn to roam free.

Up ahead is a street light.

It’s the only one in sight.

I slow down and roll to a stop.

My car door opens with a pop.

My troubles line up on the road,

Waiting for me to stop, I’m told.

I can’t escape them this time

And not from this awful rhyme.

At the next chance, I get,

I’m off, ready and set.

 

GREEN LIGHT

THE LIGHT IS GREEN

The light is green.

Take a road trip.
To nowhere.
To everywhere.
Leave it all behind.
Open your mind.
Open your heart.
To the possibilities.
To new places.
To new people.
Leave it all behind.
The light is green.
Go for it.

THE ROAD TO NOWHERE

Let’s take the road to nowhere.
Anywhere but here.
Far, far away.

NO ESCAPE

The Road To Nowhere
I want to drive and drive
and take the road to its end.
What will I find?
Will it be more exciting than
where I am now?
Will the people be more interesting?
Maybe.
But I’ll be the same person in just
a different place with different people.
Ho hum….

ESCAPE ROUTE

Some days I want to escape to the wilderness.
Camp out under the stars.
Feel the dirt beneath my feet.
Jump into a cold lake or stream.
The ground feels hard and it does
get cold out at night.
I would need a little cabin to sleep in.
Maybe a stove or an oven to warm my food.
It might get a little lonely in the woods.
It would be nice to have some cabins or houses nearby.
Okay, I’m back where I started from—in a house with heating,
a microwave, a TV, and a computer.
It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Do you ever want to pack a small bag
and take a road to wherever it may lead you?
To try out new things and meet new people.
Each day would be a new adventure.
You’d be off the beaten path and end up
in a small town, maybe in a small diner.
People would know each others names.
Okay, I know it’s beginning to sound like
an episode from “Cheers” or “Gilmore Girls.”
But it does sound nice.
