Having taken a wrong turn somewhere just west of another disaster <br />Life’s highway seemed deserted and in every intersection a red light <br />Disoriented and lost in a mind fog of limited possibilities <br />Rendered sightless with no illuminating thoughts or wiper blades <br />Capable of cleaning the protective windshield of my clearer logic <br />I turned around and returned in a direction I had once tried to escape <br />At least there I could get some rest and head out again in the morning <br />Before the crows and starlings would try to darkened the winter sky <br />With their outraged decent over my slightest progress towards a more godly life <br />And as to where my life will lead? <br />They seemed to be the only ones to know…. <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-a-highway-outside-of-starling-part-1-retreat-but-not-surrender/
