Poems (Rumell)/The open road
THE OPEN ROAD
Ah the freedom you feel on the open road!Close fellowship with cattail and goldenrod.And the Autumn tints of deep brown and goldShow the Summer gone, as a tale that is told.
With the long road winding so far, it seemsTo give promise at its end, of the house of Dreams!But we never would dare, enter this AbodeWith lesser Vision, than that of the open road!
Along the way, the rose gold and greenMight be wished on, the earth, by a fairy queen:And the Inspiration one finds, show her modeOf giving courage to the traveler on the open road.
If we kept in our heart, nature's rose and gold,Our thoughts to our fellows, would never grow cold.We would help, each the other, to carry his load,And spread the good fellowship of the open road!
