What’s out there?

As I sit here gazing,

my thoughts ah blazing

toward the open road

what’s out there waiting for me to decode?

~

The road goes this way and that.

Cars and trucks buzzing like gnats.

What’s out there?

Something waiting? Something rare?

~

Looking up at the sky.

The sun high above flying by.

Clouds, planes, the moon and stars.

What else is out there in this solar system of ours?

~

Lying on my stomach, watching this stream.

Calm water flows past like a dream.

You are going that way.

How far will you make it by the end of May?

~

The roots of this tree down into the earth, strong.

Deeper and deeper in the soil you belong.

How far are you going?

What’s waiting for you as you keep growing?

~

What’s out there waiting for me?

Something no one else can see?

Something fascinating? What can it be?

What’s out there waiting for me?
