Drifting down this dusty trail
I trek through the unknown
Reflecting back now on my tale
Of all the seeds I've sown
I think of what next will I try
And where it is I'll roam
Yet with a sigh I pass on by
With nowhere to call home

I've dispatched those things now from my life
That make me feel so bad
So tired I am of all the strife
And of always feeling sad
There's one more thing that I must do
Before this change completes
I'll see this through I'm talling you
Or else my past repeats

The road ahead is where I'm lead
Stretching beyond the eye to see
The questions stuck within my head
Ask what is next for me
Will I stand or will I fall
Perhaps I'll find a wife
These questions now I ask them all
As I stroll the road of life

Hi all. Ok, here's my latest. I came up with this while driving into work (the "one more thing" that I reffer to changing in this piece). I hope you like it. Sorry about the typo.

G. A. perhaps you will.
I hope I do to.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

G~
Go down that road and don't look back, walk straight ahead head held high and always know that things have to get better  
The road can be long and trecherous but worth the travel you'll see.
Hope all your dreams come true

Like my poem Between Heaven and Earth.  The road of life, is twisting, holds many surprises, as we age and wisdom goes, we find our way back on the path, to happiness, peace, hope and love, and eventually a partner, wedding and kids and then further.
It is hazardous and painful but worth the effort.
Wonderful work

Ah yes, I feel this poem.

Life to me is a road with many patches, some smooth, some rough and some so dark we have to slow down because the road ahead is unclear. This road also has so many intersections that lead to other intersection. I have found that travelling this road is easier if you take it one intersection at a time.

Loved you poem.

Thankyou for sharing

 Slow Down, stop to smell the roses and stroll through the garden of life, it will be a more pleasurable experience.

I think of you always Honey XXXOOO.

tracie66: You're right, the road can be a long hard one at times. But one should never look back in regret, rather one should learn from where the road has taken you and try not to make the same mistakes over again. Thank you.  

Isis: Thanks for reading my piece Lisa. I'm glad to know that you're eye is better. This place wouldn't be the same without you and I think we all agree with that. Thanks again!  

SEA: Thanks sea! I consider myself to be some what of a wierdo too...lol. Your pride means allot to me, thank you.  

Lone Wolf: Thanks wolf! May you find all the best on your path as well.  

Paulsm: I think you're right. I tend to take on too many things at once and need to learn how to slow down and take things one "intersection" at a time. Thank you.  

Thank you all once again. Your support means allot to me. May your raods lead you to your dreams.

The one thing we need to keep in mind on this journey is, Tis not the final destination that is important but the journey itself. Stand tall, walk tall and never lose sight of what is truely important in life. Well done Sir.

Marilyn: You are most certinally right. People tend to get so cought up in the end goal that they forget to look at what they may be passing along the way. Thank you.
