ahead
by Mary Frances Spencerfreeway sign
blinking detour
golden arrow pointing
left
i drive on
cant exit
life
unpredictable
hands gripping
cant see
beyond
the obvious
directive
so flow
breathe in
the unexpected
deer crossing
alternate route
ahead

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 12/05/07 at 08:19 AM "golden arrow" so enlightened... and the "hands gripping" poem centered toward "the unexpected" "deer crossing"s of life... fascinating road map and your little afterthoughts have become a signature! |

| Posted by Joe Cramer on 12/05/07 at 02:50 PM Excellent! Now, one of my favorites! |
| Posted by David Garner on 12/05/07 at 03:34 PM I took a beautiful drive through your words. Thank you. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 12/06/07 at 05:32 AM Oh, what a cool idea, to write a poem about being in traffic. This is great. It is mostly an empty experience for me... guess I am not a good Buddhist... but never claimed to be. Thanks, my dear. |
