leap year’s clearance… :)
leap year’s clearance…
these routes inside that drive a mind…
to journey everywhere…from maps of thought to feelings caught…
and other workings there…
unraveling some travelogues…
of long-lived headful treks…leads a persevering venture…
to this leap year retrospect…
four times around the sun plus one…
more dawning on a day…like a mindset’s calendar accounted for…
by extra passageways…
so much attached while backing up…
with further sights ahead…an atlas of words emerges…
capturing motoring methods…
sluggish speed left undone deeds…
when fuel tanks drained away…tears too shy to grease their gears…
became one’s price to pay…
daily traffic jams outlasted…
many here and now’s…until that grind couldn’t stand its bind…
and found the why’s and how…
trails of track so often derailed…
from a normal course of life…by parents’ apparent roadblock spikes…
through their off-base source of strife…
this loveless cage for a younger age…
who learned to call it home…felt pain form walls within a brain…
that yearned to smile and roam…
those rougher runs of suffering…
brought distance all too near…even when you’re miles behind…
they’re close enough to fear…
gray matter battered daily…
under biased wayside jabs…yielded windshield dings and cracks…
with sadder views to grab…
cornered into scornful heaps…
like chunks of junkyard cars…prevailing rate appraisals…
claimed it sorest ride so far…
’til sick and tired lit its fire…
in a new combustion thrust…charging up a bigger spark…
on a truthful trip with trust…
old rooted detours overlooked…
the auto-pilot quit…no longer bossed by heavy cost…
each time that horn got hit…
a fresh terrain of altered lanes…
improved with smoother grooves…while fewer stalling pothole pits…
retriggered brainwashed moves…
still prior billboard signs pop up…
quite unexpectedly…as blazing dashboard gauges…
flash check-engine lights to see…
yet better for this present tour…
awareness gets tuned-up…igniting insight’s octane…
for escaping future pileups..
an engine for this motorist…
its linkage turns these wheels…records list its upkeep…
from endeavors to ordeals…
navigation’s activation…
exceeds the driver’s seat…folks and modes along the road…
might bring concerns to meet…
like maps of actions visited…
and happenings yet to be…life covers undiscovered thoughts…
with jaunts and history…
these lines arrive considering time…
and with this new leap year…they’re catching up to let you know…
you’re in my mind right here!…
…
loads’a neat modes’n’moments to ya!… 🙂
