Graduation '04

the road less traveled...

22 years and miles an hour
varied speed travel, same road
desert plains, city strain,
mountain range, beach grain -
scenery of the norm…

yet the road paved before
the cement worn down
met now by open dirt
no end, no beginning
just the thoughts
regarding the life
about to start somewhere
anew in timbuktu

no one to tell
where to go
no one to say
this way home
no one to harness
the open
but me.
