The Road is Calling

The road calls me
A lover's whisper in my ear-saying
Come to me
Follow me
Ride me like I've never been ridden before
Position yourself between my lines
Push harder than you ever have
Move faster than the speed of thought
Cause if you think you wont
But take your time
Cause if you dont you'll miss
The journey
When your weary
Rest your bones in my median
Never leave me
Taste me
Lick asphalt
Kiss concrete
Swallow me whole
They'll say your running from demons
But I know your running to them
