Towards It
By: JP Leddy
Like a drive on a beautiful day
My life flies by in the wind
Where the road leads me towards it
I feel it on my face like the sun’s rays
Like the wind whipping on my arm
I accelerate pushing on the pedal that is my heart
I moving towards it and I almost there
To that wonderful destination that is not a place
But it is definitely my very warm hearth and home
Zooming towards it , towards my happiness

I like it! Nice metaphor- that sense of racing down the road towards your joy is a great feeling I don’t think I’ve heard in a poem before.

Cool write! I like the entire premise of it though I have to admit there’s the added bonus that it take me to a place where I can step on the accelerator and feel the sun – today was -29, the roads were black ice and a couple of ruts almost took out my tires! Oh how I wish I could speed along to happiness, or at least move to a tropical climate
I like the direction you’ve chosen to move towards … Happiness, may you find it and stay there!
Great take in the theme :O)
Thank you, Madeleine!
