A Poem Is A Highway Poem by Chris Embrick

A poem is a highway
A road map for dreams to ride
It may travel to the familiar
Or to a treasure chest inside
It's lanes may lead to mysteries
Or to a journey's end
Become a one way street for love
Rekindle thoughts of family, friends
Some poems tour a broken heart
Some follow tears of sorrow
Some guide to places beautiful
And give hope for tomorrow
Indeed a poem's a highway
The best take you to the soul
They never by-pass the heart
But let you travel streets of gold.
