Nearby Roads
There are roads nearby
That I never have travelled
I've seen them as I drive by
Wet and strewn with gravel
I tell myself there'll be a day
Where I will take the time
And see what's on their way
But it is forever delayed
And I never make the turn
And I continue as I always do
And these roads I do spurn
What's on them I've no clue
These roads always beckon
They call me in a quiet voice
They’re begging me to reckon
And make them my choice
But I always have a routine
That vouches for priority
Leaving the roads unseen
And forever in minority
I forsake making the turn
Staying to the beaten path
And never coming to learn
What surprises the road hath
Yet something inside of me
Tells me that I should explore
That these roads of mystery
Would be places I'd adore
And that what sits upon them
Will reveal something unknown
A secret unbeknownst special gem
Will come out and be shown
And my life would take a turn
As a new road is opened up
Leaving nothing for me to yearn
As new fates upon me erupts
