Some seek Tranquility on the open road.
Others seek it by the River’s edge.
Some meet Tranquility on trails in the Forest green,
Where Sunlight dances through yellow reeds
And Spring nurtures Nature’s seeds.
While, those most blessed,
Find Tranquility in the arms of Home.
The open road is calling me,
Memories of distant shores,
Starlit nights & Sunlit doors.
Rivers bend beneath trees
Of green. Waters sparkle,
While dreams unseen,
Wait at sleeping docks,
For laughing eyes & gentle sighs.
Wheels glide through hills,
Curving down
Past hard cut rocks,
As the open road calls on,
With its endless
Summer song.

Turning back to the road, worn shoes carry the would-be seeker down the weathered wooden steps and along the uneven paving stones back to the crumbling edge of the asphalt. Now, which way were they going again ?
Slightly bewildered, the weary hitchhiker pauses peering at dusty windows, …………..
