The journey began
on a speeding highway
where time was
never spent idling,
even the scenery
had a purpose-
to outline our progress
as the countryside
grew more withered.
Spent, I sought
another mode
of transportation.
I staggered away
from the main road,
and met you at the
junction of nowhere
and everything.
You pointed the way,
and I followed your
direction explicitly.
Though I would be
traveling alone
along unsteady
gravel pathways,
I knew the destination
was all that mattered;
the road led me home.
