Well-traveled highways across trampled dreams

Well-traveled highways across trampled dreams Well-traveled highways across trampled dreams Tragedy showers the plans we made it seems Again, we’ve been stalled at this critical juncture Unforeseen delays that always seem to puncture The panorama, paranoia, pandemonium, patience Deliberation, determination, destination vacations Lose the broken record of the tired too-worn reasons Catch as many falling stars that you see across the seasons Tomorrows turning into memories we spent together Flocking close, laughing watching the birds of a feather So snap go the fingers brings you around alert and about Remembering, recovering, relaxing, removing any doubt Clearly back on well-traveled highways across trampled dreams No worries, no hitches, eyes fixed squarely on headlight beams Ready to roll into the joint that’s been ready to spark Just the sound of arrival brings sunshine over the dark Ice melts, eyes dry, hearts pound, breaths quicken, passion No problems, no hunger, no longing, smiles are flashin’ Jaws drop, crow served, eyes follow a couple so well fit Low lights, silhouettes, soft sounds, recompense all of it Lonely times, empty holes where so many grins belong Despite best made plans, like mice and men went wrong Still, we trudged down the well-traveled highways across trampled dreams Chasing down the beacon of hope we’ve been clinging to, and it still gleams No matter how faint you’ve got to follow the beating of your heart Straight to your lovers arms to go where you wanted from the start When you first hit the well-traveled highway across trampled dreams Looking for our day Tim Windisch 01/15/2024
