An Easy Road A southern wind moves through the trees
Sunlight breaks over the hill and cascades light across the yard
Time stands still
I wonder if this will happen again
Exactly so
A squirrel moves
And life begins again
I listen to the noise inside the house
Glance to the road
A road can go so many places
Out here it can go so deep into the wilderness
I could step unto that road
And walk away from this
Leave this storm to wreck itself
And not harm me
Ever again
It's possible to wade through the storm
To survive, of course
Stepping onto the road would be an easy escape
(A cowardice way out)
I think I deserve the easy for once
But my pride and God deny it.
