Corners and Power Lines

The opportunities are seen in the darkness Seen in the sparkling headlights They shine like diamonds in the velvety blackness With the window down I feel the wind whipping by As frigid as the moments forgotten it slices through my skin Heat from the dash warms my body But refuses to melt my heart Every mile marker is a reminder of those being left behind Every road sign a notice of things to come It's hard to choose the path Even harder when your mind is left to wander Hardest when there is no one there beside you. As you turn the corners And mind the bends The road blocks get bigger And the incline begins You never get far before another discouragement Another pole on the side Another opportunity gone by Another turn Another Opportunity Another light Another Opportunity
