The Light                Rodney C. Walmer 5/27/97

One day out on the road
Going the way I usually go
Approaching the turn
Just before the sign
What I would soon learn
 would blow my mind
You see, 
They had made some changes overnight
Where there once stood a stop sign
There was a light
Well you can imagine my surprise
In all honesty, 
I just couldn’t believe my eyes
Where was I, 
And, what had happened to that sign
Well, I just sat there puzzled 
as these thoughts rolled over in my mind

Now, I waited on that red light
where none had stood before
and what’s more
I wondered where they found the time
Was this an illusion of the mind, 
or, did they really install 
this light at all
While I lay asleep last night. . .
