On The Road of Life – Original Poem
By Mark A. Leon
There is nowhere to go but everywhere
Like a dream on the road where the mountains weep and the flowers bloom.
A place with boundary; limitless
Sliding down the rainbow of possibility into the ocean blue
Swimming toward the sun splashing me with its warmth until I can kiss
the sand and be tickled by the grace of Earth free and open
A dreamer with a home between the clouds and grass
A verse for every step through this great land
A story with every heartbeat
Adventures born from fairy tales and raised by the imagination
I am born to a vision of wonder
Scared by darkness; excited for the light
Raised on the love of the road
A wanderer guided by the sky so blue
So, endless
So, euphoric
This is the love I know
It is here, it is everywhere
It is in the comfort of a stranger’s words
The safety of the countless stars
It lies within all of us
It is now
