She’s on a path
Parallel to her heart’s desire
Excelling and building one road
While her heart calls out to another
I think what she hopes for
Is a merging lane very soon
Or someway somehow be able to build
An exit ramp to merge the two
It’s inevitable
That she had chosen this load
As she couldn’t contemplate
Ambition satisfied with small roads
So she took the highway
By nature of mind
And from time to time
Glances right
To see the small road abandoned
Yet intertwined
With complexity, curiosity
Beautiful signs
With forests of knowledge
Rivers of love
The sweetest air
Warmth radiating from above
Absolute sophistication
Timeless and mindful peace
Meanwhile she drives fast on this highway
Breaking all regulations on speed
She takes off traction control
Wind in her hair — she’s flying
Exhilaration at best
While her heart’s desire dying
Dying to switch gear
And take it slow
As her heart ponders
The experience of a stroll
