Life wears me out with its twists and turns, and hairpin curves. I keep waiting for a long, peaceful stretch of highway, bathed in the rising sun. A golden wheatfield to to the left, a moss covered pond with dragonflies to the right. The road turns to gravel, and climbs rapidly uphill. There are signs along the way that promise the world. The road gradually turns to dirt, and ultimately disappears.

Looking for that Highway
Life wears me out with its twists and turns, and hairpin curves. I keep waiting for a long, peaceful stretch of highway, bathed in the rising sun. A golden wheatfield to to the left, a moss covered pond with dragonflies to the right. The road turns to gravel, and climbs rapidly uphill. There are signs along the way that promise the world. The road gradually turns to dirt, and ultimately disappears.
