Winning Poem

 

Chase

By Mini

On the road where dreams unfold,
Adventure calls with stories untold.
Wheels turning to freedom's call,
Guided by a beckoning drawl.

Ahead lies a vast expanse,
Leaving behind the past’s dance.
Sunsets paint the evening sky,
As stars twinkle up on high.

From dusty paths to city streets,
Nature's beauty, where the beauty meets
Faces met along the way,
Each one adding to our day.

Mountains high, valleys low,
Time’s passing, memories grow.
Through the unknown we make our way,
On this journey, come what may.

Whispers of the wind, tears of the sky,
Moments fleeting as days fly by.
Endless roads, twists and turns,
On this journey, our hearts yearn.

Footsteps marking time and space,
Seeking a never-ending chase.
Every mile, a part of our whole,
On the road, finding our soul.
