Thoughts Highway
Outside where l live, is a very long grey road,
It’s ideal for thinking, pondering the load,
I walk it often, whilst enjoying time with my dog,
Setting the worlds’ problems straight, whirring the cogs,
Thinking is just the tip of our busy hectic mind,
What really goes on in there, all of the ticking time?
Walking as far as l do, each and every passing day,
Allows me to continually explore, thoughts highway,
It enables me to look deep into the mental abyss,
Sometimes taking me to past horrors and other times to bliss,
But deep l can journey to my inner working space,
At times, my thoughts will never express upon my face!
Philosophising, analysing, processing my entire life,
From now, from before, and ahead along the road of rife,
Easy as it is, to lose track of time beneath each stride,
Consciously showing me how to view as l glide,
Thoughts highway continually observes and it sees,
Visions of who l am, now and after, dark real me.

Morning Juju although it is probably afternoon for you my friend 🙂
Yeah, there is a lot to be said for the ability to take the load off whilst walking and thinking along a stretch of undisturbed road, and with a river to boot, ideal 🙂
Nice poem Rory.

Great poem. Me time, alone with thoughts to ponder. I find it very relaxing.
Me time is always relaxing – just for some it’s very hard to actually acquire – due to the pressures of daily life and commitments 🙂
True. But one must make time. And one can. It’s just take a bit of maneuvering.
Very much so 🙂
👍
Is there any better way of calming the mind than to just walk and enjoy what nature has to offer :O) xx
There’s a few, but not many and of the few sometimes hard to acquire 🙂
That walkway is almost Hobbit like. Yes looks like a deep thought and relaxation place.
Did you not know l was a Hobbit though? I though everyone knew that ?
I saw you as a Ranger.
What a Ranger Hobbit? Scrappy has a tale coming out soon about Rangers and my fear of them ha ha! I am a wuss when it comes to Rangers ha ha!
superb poem rory…. and the road too is really good to walk on and be one with nature and think about life and its ways!!!!
Thank you – l think there are so many truly beautiful ‘thoughts highway’ paths in our world where we can be at one withour selves, but finding the right one is pure delight 🙂
yes 🙂
Another overthinker? 😉
Ha ha, oh yes, how did you not know, l over think and am too verbose for my own good 🙂
I’m one of those, doesn’t lend itself to a lot of restful sleep
Nope, no it doesn’t.
Love the poem 💞
The road is really good to walk and enjoy the nature 🌸
