Thumbing Kerouac again with a sigh
Yearning to be back on the road once more
The vines of fear wrap around my thigh
Rooting me here to tap at the door
The flash of sky will release the rain
The vanishing days despoil this trip
Blind to the trickles down the pane
And the candle top’s constant drip
Strong we are in the sun
Knowing one day
the rains will come

Thank you. 🙏 It’s been a while since I read any K. In my mind he’s a teen/twenties read.
