Purple Flowers

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
 
 
There is a road that winds down the hill,
Crosses over two one lane bridges,
And heads up the next hill.
 
It is a peaceful drive,
One that I will go out of my way to take.
In the spring time little purple and white flowers flourish,
And you feel as if time has stopped.
 
It is everything that country living should be.
Quiet houses on the rivers edge,
Sunbeams shinning threw the tree tops,
One lane bridges bring everyone to a slower pace.
Wildlife walking the old railroad beds.
 
I'll take this drive over the more modern faster routes,
Even when I have somewhere important to be.
Why you ask,
Just look at the picture and see my escape from reality.
