I remember some long days travelling
To see a lady who never did show,
But, alas, I am no travelling king,
And the aftermath left me feeling low.

The scenes I recall now are strangely bright,
Like beltway gridlock, tunnel entrance snow,
A truck I just missed in the dead of night,
And big ferry parking lots' amber glow.

That was years ago now, but I recall
A hope that was there---and don't that beat all.

Thanks all for your kind words. I guess sometimes the journey really is the destination.
