sitting by the Road

sitting by the Road

i sit here by the side of the Road
watching all the “Passer-bys”
i contemplate their destinations
and all their reasons “why”

we appear to be ‘migratory souls’
all seeking for some place to arrive
looking for a temporary belonging
some walk, some dream, some drive

some seem pressed and anxious
their lives stuck in a ‘rush mode’
me, i am just passing through
for where ‘i am’ is my abode

yet there still are times i too am expectant
of what lies beyond the bend
but i’ve learned that ‘Expectation’ travels with ‘Disappointment’
so i always . . . all ways seek to amend

for the road i travel has but one step
it is taken one at a time
only then am i consciously open
for the discovery of what is sublime
