Thin Black Road







There’s a thin black road



I have traveled many times.



It leads to peace



In so many ways.



It’s kind of hard to describe



For the road’s oft unclear.



It unfolds to me



Like a lovely gift



One word at a time.



Then, music fills in the gaps,



Making worries fade away,



As unexplainable peace pours in.



There’s a thin black road



It leads me to peace.



When good or ill tidings come



To threaten my equilibrium,



I will travel that road



And return to peaceful calm.
