The Road

The Road

A burst of light and there is a sunrise on a new life.
The rays cast a glow over a new road.
The end disappears at the far horizon.

It leads to the avenues of life as the sun brightens.
Twisting and turning it leads us onward.
Forward it leads us to triumphs and troubles, new lives and hope.

As we travel potholes and cracks appear.
It ages and fades with time and worry.
Hope and lives fade.

Overhead the sun dims.
It meets the road at the horizon.
The road becomes a shadow, the world grows dark; it is sundown.
