  • Wonder Highways

    How many hours spent rolling wheels distant sunlight turns to slow sunset, miles away, traveling forever, I remember the endless glance to the sky, waiting for the next … miracle. ~ Always did  wish for some reprieve, back of heads, one smoking, the other in a similar place 40 years later, we were isolated in…

    We did make sacrifice to hold on to what we believe, in long winded trials. yet when the music is our serenade we listen with each note as like in love our breath has gasp to recall our new morning ahead, good nigh to our fails we can believe there is new progress made allure our gentle spirits,…
