Traveling down a road.
An endless ribbon of black
lined in yellow.
Sometimes broken.
Sometimes continuous.
Travel a mile or two
but the road is closed.
An avalanche of snow
leaves me alone and cold
and on another detour.
Smooth traveling for a while
but weather changes.
Makes the road bumpy and rough
filled with potholes.
Waiting to swallow me in.
Traveling onward
landslide of mud and muck.
Stops me in my tracks.
Leaving me traveling
down yet another detour.
Coming to the end of the road.
Standing on the edge of nothingness.
Wanting to jump but
scared of the darkness.
