And the miles go by

By mysticventures

I am just a vehicle
Travelling down life's highways

Taking in the scenery
I often take the byways

Many miles I've covered now
And I've countless more to go

When and where my journey will end
Is not for me to know

Experience alone is why I drive
This road without an end

The marks upon my body
Tell the tales of where I've been

Mostly I tend to run real well
My engine seems just fine

The tread is running alittle thin
I need a tune-up from time to time

Overall I've enjoyed the ride
There's been some bumps along the way

But these and other obstacles
I've taken day by day

Nothing seems to slow me down
For my eyes are ever forward

I just keep plugging down the road
And continue my journey onward

    I once had a dream the universe was a road that wrapped around a sphere and the travelers kept everthing in motion. You wrote my dream:) Great poem:)

    I can really relate to what you are expressing here--although your take on it is a lot more optimistic than mine usually is *smiles*

    the second stanza was the best here, as is per usual to your works, great thought expressed sublimely
