On the Road

Upon that dusty road of yesteryear
along the river now but a stream
I hear the passing of an age it seems
and see the vanished fading I fear

I cross the ancient bridge and follow on
to some distant destination unseen
where I may be renewed above the mean
and so I travel to that distant dawn

The road is oft long and lonely bent
and I weary at the miles I have crossed
wondering to reclaim the memories lost
along the well worn road I’m sent

Wonderful, Johnn.

I hope you don’t mind that I’ve saved your poem for future use.

Reminds me of an old saying ...

It is not what you find along the road;
It is what you find at the end
