Halfway down the road to nowhere

July 5, 2026

Halfway down the road to nowhere,
to somewhere, I had never been,
halfway to you feeling as if I was in a dream.
Halfway down the road to nowhere,
with voices in the air upon the breeze.
Halfway to nowhere with my emotions,
a torrent inside of me.
Halfway to nowhere with my mind in a haze,
and with my eyes looking straight ahead,
wanting you but not knowing,
how long it would take to get to you through the heavy rain,
and so tired and weary from life’s stresses and strains,
so tired, because in my head all I felt was pain,
mental and physical pain from the day,
and from day to day living and such rain and pain,
and there halfway down the road to nowhere,
you never seemed to get closer no matter how far I walked,
and it seemed a million miles to me,
and it seemed as if in slow motion,
and I felt so worn out, and as if not me,
because life and daily living it rips out your heart sometimes,
and you only need nothing to make you feel better,
and no materialism, just simplicity,
and me, well I want you,
for your love has always been so good to me,
and it has always brought me out of any misery,
because you are so special to me,
and with you I am truly lucky,
because you in your beauty,
and in your intensity, and in your vivacity,
and with your good heart and mind, you amaze me,
and today, you grace me with your presence,
upon a winter's day,
and in life, with your love, you grace me always,
and you grace me with those incredibly dark eyes,
and you grace me with your heart,
and you grace me with your mind,
and you grace me with the kind,
and the loving words that you say,
and your voice is soft and light, and as smooth as honey,
and you, when you kiss me,
I am lost in bliss and my mind floats upon a cloud,
and the thoughts of you in my head are as if sunbeams,
sunbeams inside me upon a summer’s day,
and in your warmth,
how great and how ebullient you make me feel,
and how delicate you are,
like a flower, which opens up in the sunshine,
reaching for higher heights in the hottest part of the day,
and halfway down the road to nowhere,
nowhere that I have ever been,
the thoughts of you they comfort me,
and they drive me on, and quicker in my step,
and with the thoughts of you in my mind,
no distance in this world will keep me,
keep me from being in your arms again,
no matter what is thrown my way.
