'The Road'

Although wonderful, the images of different roads provided by Poets United didn't quite match the poem I came up with...  I googled another road, that I felt was in agreement with my words.

 

‘The Road’

I watched the road from my bedroom window,

A ‘stay at home’ type, ‘sit by the fire,’

I never ever really truly wondered

What it was like out there –

Beyond the bend –

But then one day I changed my name to ‘Pilgrim,’

The warmth and home I traded for the road,

The loss was meant to be, for what I found

Was my own life that lay

Beyond the bend.

Live for the Love of it,

The Happy Amateur
