Road Trip

Sometimes
The fun of getting lost
In the momentum
Is the journey back
To the cruise control,
And creating the
Soundtrack of your soul
That blasts from the speakers
And ties itself
To the moments
Memories were made.
This winding road
Is headed somewhere
But that destination
Needs side trips
And pit stops
To make it worth my while.
And no matter
The bumps in the road
Or the detours put before me,
It's my path on the pavement,
My song in the speakers,
My foot on the gas.
So I'm taking some turns
And heading back towards the
Highway of life,
Looking out for
Memories waving from
Unknown exits and
Small town streets and
Curious little landmarks,
That surely don't hold my destiny,
But call me to pull over
And take in
Something new and unexpected,
Changing the way I drive
The next leg of my life.
Yes,
I'm looking back on
The avenues I've taken,
Some that have led to dead ends
And others that have
Taken me to beautiful unknown places,
And I'm
Facing the music
That makes my heart beat fast
Because of the places
It has planted itself,
So I can find the
Regular rhythm
And the repaved road
Of myself again.
