Street Signs


Danger Ahead
it was the most beautiful cemetary I’d ever seen
where lay my innocence
original intent
the best of me perceived
so rarely it hypnotized with energy
of simple release

Do Not Pass
it was an irresistible challenge to the core of me
an adventure of words
beginnings
the best effortlessly gleaned
where adrenaline flew high above reality
fated to be

Yield
it was as foreign a concept as I’d ever considered
intriguing in its simplicity
due thought
the best challenged by depths of
patient introspection most despised
comes the time

Fascinating JLR.  I'm intrigued by the direction you took with the signs.  Words can mean so many different things, you've extracted much power from them.

Stop... an irresistible challenge to fly on!

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.
