Freeways & Forests


On the edge of the freeway lies a forest
and on the edge of the forest lies a clearing
and in that clearing lies me
waiting for you
watching the daylight disappearing
wondering if you will soon be nearing

A world I've built for you and me
gazing through the trees I see
busy people passing by
at speeds no radar dare to measure
but on the other side
a greater pleasure
a gentle stream, a quiet treasure.

Sometimes I can no longer bare to hide
and get out amidst the noise if only for the ride
many things to do, I have,
and often I get tied
and can't stop when you pull off to the side.

And the same with you when I see
you whiz by
and I lie
still and waiting,
contemplating
how to get you into the clearing
to allow me to show you how endearing
you are to me and why.

Every now and then
not too often
but when
we are in the forest at the same time
then
the freeway doesn't matter
and life could be a splatter
in the median-

content to wear a silent grin
though the freeway calls again.
