Broken Roads

behind the wheels
dust
clouding the view
of what was
a dried path
gone over
so many times

it is the path I go

for there is not one rock
that I do not know
or leaf that was not turned
where I lost
a gravelly kiss
but I do believe
paper still
covers stone

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

serenity blaze

and it took me so long to understand the metaphor of the game too...

you have a way lady, of making the message float like featherpaper, cutting through the thicket, to slam home like stone.

smile...you play all three.

You win.

And scissors cut paper
Allowing the stone to fall out,
If permitted.
I wish you only smooth pathways to travel

Head for a macadam and what ever you do act as though your ride has no reverse.

Very subtle.

A child's game creeps in near the end.

Yes I really liked this.

The image, the thought, the imagination, the play.

Superb.
