Title: Road Less Traveled
Author: John Beisgen

In the relationships that i have had in the past
It is as though i am on a highway of life
And each woman that i had some sort of relationship with
It has been more like a rest area then an exit.

short stays with no hope in site to stay where i have
pulled over,i have never reached the destinetion that
i was destined for just minor stops or prlonged visits.
for some reason this week i decided to get off at an exit

this was no normal exit for me , no rest area or a breif stop
to rest my weary eyes this feels like this is what my journey
has been all about, all the long lonely nights alone
the trip has finally paid itself off with fate controlling me.

fate has led me to this place that i am at now, god is it beautiful
the trees are greener then i have ever seen them, the grass smells
freshly cut, there are wild flowers growing every where but yet they
look well groomed like someone knew that i would be arriving here.

As i gaze around and look at all the things that bring my once dead
senses back to life i look towards the sunsetting behind the deep
horizon and in that distance there is a shape of a person and by the look
it appears to be a woman, beauty seems to bring to life this place

Is this finally where i have been destined to arrive is this my place
where my heart and emotions are able to grow,where i am finally aloud
to let them come to the surface. fear as enabled me to move
but content has forced me to finally except that thsi is where i belong.
