I know of a place down the road, At the town's edge is where I go, When I need to lighten my load. Before my head starts to implode, A long measured walk I take slow, I know of a place down the road, There are no secret, hidden codes, But I guess it’s a riddle though, When I need to lighten my load. It is a place where no one goes, My special place I feel a glow, I know of a place down the road, When I'm there I feel calmness flow, Time slows down, my life it I owe, When I need to lighten my load. When troubles start bothering me, And life seems a nightmarish show, I know of a place down the road, When I need to lighten my load. ©February 18, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Ahhh . . . You flatter me, Alana, with your thoughts(keep doing it!). In these my older years I am more into finding piece rather than ratting the road like I did back in tha day. I have found that piece more often than not. Thank you very much for reading and commenting on my poetry. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I'll bet down at the end of that road is a swamp, huh, Jerry? Nice one. ~L |

I'm betting you would be right, Lori, a swamp it is. Thank you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
