DESTINATION
Meandering through the infinitely verdant hills, valleys and dales
Is a road that leads from a bustling city to where you always are…
Fringed with wildflower shrubs of hues so bright and rare
Stretching endlessly towards a cozy hearth and home
Soaking many golden sunrays and silvery moonbeams under a starlit dome
Giggling with mirth, we had with a bounce in our step strode
Played hopscotch to the beat of nursery rhyme jingles or the bicycles we untiringly rode
Hot summery days and on cool wintry nights,
On these familiar paths, we knew every curve,turn and crossroads alright!
In the bleak and ashen night as I sit on these curbs
Exploding in the heavens are a billion stars giving me eternal hope
The road most travelled can't be erased from my soles, oh never!
The weary always find their way back home, the calling is an echo loud and clear!
Through the sun-warmed alley and rain-drenched soil
With every slope, rise, fall and dip
I march boldly onward, the destination is mine to keep!
It's a heaven-spun poetry which leads me back to you
A humble countryside road dusty and rustic
All roads lead back to you and childhood memories fantastic!
