i have traveled many roads
highways and byways of varied size
and countless length
i have often journeyed with much load
and at times with none
hardly an extra change of clothes
many nights i have slept on roads
counting the uncountable stars
while being stung by beastly bugs
and malicious mosquitoes
in my sojourns i have met numerous spirits
including Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad
frequently in perfect harmony
and at times at squabbles and war
in these wanderings
roads that were not closed i cherished much
that i may reach home like a mother bird
to feed the nestlings
but now a road that is closed is what i
desire
that i may never leave home
