Highways

Highways take me everywhere
I want to go with one exception standing
That road leads into the quiet places in the shadows of your mind
The beaten path of common words
Can only lead us to misunderstanding
I believe that I can see the love for you that is a greater kind
Highways take me over the mountains
Into the valleys and out through the plains
Wanting to be in your heart’s understanding
I travel each highway in vain
Highways only take me into places where the average of the crowd goes
Where they affix the standard on the language
And emotions of the love
Highways never reach above the ground
And cannot know the things a cloud knows
In a million volumes they have never written to express my love
Highways take me over the mountains
