ridin’ those highways of time
through my everlovin’ mind
lookin’ for some little ole sign
that says he’s all mine
but wastelands unkind
are all that i find
ain’t no oasis on which i can hope
nor nothin’ else to help me cope
nothin’ but sun bleached bones
love’s last remnants ever’where strewn
heartbeats embedded in sun-drenched sand
siftin’ right through my beggin’ hands
day scorches all in this burnin’ land
and night sings the blues in black velvet bands
life without love now takin’ its toll
peace don’t come to a heart heavy soul
ridin’ those highways of time
where cheatin’ for love was always a crime
and wastelands unkind
are all that i find

there is love in one's life, it has different forms. One cannot chase a love that is gone, if it wanted to come back it would be here. We must find it in everything we do
Beautiful - and sad. Glad to see you back!
It's hard to work one's way through the Wasteland.
wonderful to have you drop by, as always, APO - yes, you are right - but then there are times when we ourselves push that love away in such a way as to prohibit its ever returning - and have no one to blame but ourself - perhaps the most unkind wasteland of all...
many thanks, trish - my muses seem to be still wandering those searing hot/dried wastelands - but at least they wander! ;)
so very true, pat - so very very true...and especially when that wasteland is of our own making...
