Roads of Fire

 [Verse]

Tires hum on the asphalt skin

Wind cuts sharp but I dive right in City lights fade like a broken hymn

Freedom whispers but it's paper-thin

[Chorus]

These roads of fire they call my name Burning rubber under skies untamed

Chasing shadows but it's all the same

Roads of fire they call my name

[Verse 2]

Smoke curls up from the engine's breath

Heart beats fast like a race with death

Night won't care if I lose my step 

Every mile is a promise I've kept

[Prechorus]

A rebel's prayer to the empty night Hopes and scars in the pale moonlight

[Chorus]

These roads of fire they call my name Burning rubber under skies untamed

Chasing shadows but it's all the same

Roads of fire they call my name

[Bridge]

A scream in the dark I can't ignore

Every twist every turn begging for more I'm lost I'm found on this endless floor

A dance with danger I can't deplore

I'm trying to imagine the music that would go with this.

My Wandering Thoughts for Today

Image
Thoughts for Today I find myself sitting here today, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts. For some inexplicable reason, my thoughts keep drifting from one topic to another. One moment, I’m reminiscing about my childhood, and the next, I’m transported back to the 80s. Suddenly, I’m drawn into a contemplation of aging and my place in life. Then, I’m struck by a sudden urge to think about music. I have no clue why my mind is so restless, so I decided to explore it through writing. Perhaps it will settle into a coherent thought, or perhaps it will only confuse me further. Let’s see how it unfolds. I find myself alone 75 percent of the time, and I believe this contributes to my mind’s tendency to wander. When you’re not interacting with others directly, you need to find ways to express yourself and keep your mind sharp. As someone who’s not a big TV fan, I find my stimulation in music. Music has a remarkable ability to evoke a wide range of thoughts and memories. I’ve mentioned before how my me...

Where Did The Romance Go

Valentines Day My wife and I have been married for over 37 years now. After talking to a few friends who have been married for over 20 years, I noticed that most of them either didn’t do anything special for Valentine’s Day or just exchanged cards. This made me curious about the reasons behind this trend. After some reflection, I have a few ideas. First, let me share my own experience with Valentine’s Day. In high school, I wanted it to be perfect. Even though most teenagers didn’t have much money, they would spend whatever they could to make it memorable. It could be as simple as a cute card and some cuddling or kissing. Doing nothing or forgetting was unthinkable. I can relate to this. In my dating years, if there was someone special, I would go all out. A nice dinner and wine at a restaurant, flowers, cards, and possibly chocolates or balloons would be included. It was enjoyable and made me feel good, and hopefully, it made the date happy. However, I should also mention that early V...

To Talk About The Past

To Talk About The Past Do you ever yearn to sit down with old friends and reminisce about the past? I often find myself contemplating this idea, especially since I spend a significant amount of time alone. The question that arises is whether it’s wise to pursue this. Will the memories align with reality, or will I be disappointed? Additionally, as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize that some of my friends may not remember certain events at all. Despite these challenges, the urge to reconnect persists. One significant obstacle for me is the limited number of true male friends I’ve had. While I’ve had coworkers and some acquaintances, only a select few have been able to provide me with meaningful conversations. There’s only one person left whom I regularly confide in. There’s at least one friend in Pennsylvania, but the distance prevents us from engaging in deep conversations. I acknowledge that I haven’t made more of an effort to connect with men in this area, but I simply don’t sha...
