Road Marker

How does a wayfarer move from place to place?

Many road markers help them along the way

Guiding them when the stars don’t heed their calls

It may be a rock or a totem pole

Or a bold colored flower that won’t budge from where it grows

Whatever the road marker may be

It was never meant to stay

Its only role was to help you traverse the unknown terrain

But you never looked back, did you?
