-Once Asleep At The Wheel-
it's great to start a new life
but it's hard to drive with tears in your eyes
with no wipers to wipe away the rain
within your eyes you feel the stinging pain
a lost love and a speeding automobile
no right to get bhind the wheel
nevertheless the deady wheels roll
something missing within the soul
shaky hands and tear-filled eyes
as the death machine flies
somewhere within this route one must see
the fine line between breakdown and insanity
as other machines are completely blown away
this one must head for the new way
she's running hot, and low on gas
as another machine is passed
another storm is again coming on
again the wipers are not where they belong
stinging and struggling the eyes stay open again
just can't let those deamons in
for many frames of life's movie reel
were spent asleep at the wheel


J.L. Koehler

Very interesting and truthful poem. We have all been there, asleep at the wheel. Take care
