On the Road (poem)



Every so often, I hear the familiar metallic whine of a passing car and wonder where it might be going...

Casting my mind outward, I ponder who the driver might be and whether they are returning to loved ones from some long and arduous trek, heading off on a newly unfolding adventure or just picking up some frozen peas.

Do they prefer the radiant sun as a travelling companion, or find contentment beneath the moon's pale gaze?

Whatever their destination, the sounds of a rumbling engine and rubber on tar evoke one thought within me above all;
Freedom.
