The Road Through The Woods


                                              The Road  Through  The Woods
The Earth and the Sky,,
Bridged by these majestic woods,
 Form an awesome horizon,
 Inviting one to explore beyond it.


And  through the blue and green,
Goes the awesome metalled road, 
 Promising to take you  on,
 To places never known before.

 

See how it moves onward,
Cheerful as if homebound,
But not in a hurry to be there,
As travellers are known to do.  


Has no fear of tough terrain,
Or unkind and rough weather,
Nothing makes it falter, 
  Or stop it anywhere.  

I too wish to venture along,
And seek what lies beyond,
How many curves and turns,
Are there to navigate.

Will it ever be forging ahead,
With no terminal on the way?
For the horizon keeps extending,
 Setting ever-new destinations.

And those can never be touched,
Either by the traveller or the road,
The end, just a sweet illusion,
 keeps on eluding forever.

 So just enjoy the trip,
 In the  domain of mother nature,
 With the Earth, and woods and sky,                                                                 
 As the most wonderful co- travellers.
