It really doesn't matter
Where I've been or what I've done.
It is of no importance
Where I go- Or where I'm from...

The only thing that matters-
And I know this to be true...
Is the aching in my heart, dear
Every time I think of you.

I dream of you while driving-
Out there on the Interstate...
And wonder how it happened...
Was it accident, or fate?

Was it graven on some tablet-
Of an ancient, by-gone age...
Did some scribe of things eternal
Write it on some astral page?

I really can't explain it...
But the one thing that I know.
Is I bear you in my heart and mind...
Everywhere I go.

Hey G.S. you know I like your works, and this one is equally as good. You have a unique talent, and I know what you mean about taking someone everywhere you go. I have someone in my memory that I feel about this same way.

Gunslinger-
I always enjoy reading your poetry, and this
is no exception. This one has a kind of
heartfelt ache to it. Well done.
Hugs,

Your stories are great, whether short or long
as nostalgic as an old country song.

Great vignette. KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

You've done it again. The form is perfect, the meter is faultless, and I love the way you express yourself.

just got off the interstate myself, and I feel this poem still like the rhythmic thumps of the road
