On The Healing Road
The ghost rider rode the longest loneliest road
While leaving melancholic shadows behind
Carrying an immense heavy burden and load
One of loss and heartbreak to bear in mind
Suns set in the west and rose in the east
But the relentless ghost rider kept riding on
Alone with his grieving thoughts finding peace
As the tormented soul writer kept writing on
He was revitalized by timeless landscapes
By what the universe had created all around
New perspectives then began to take shape
As the ghost rider rode from town to town
It may be a long highway to eventually unload
Until the time is right to find the best trail
On the healing road the ghost rider showed
That the human spirit can endure and prevail

I really enjoyed the essence of hope and perseverance throughout this, Wally. I like the subject matter of a ghost rider and perhaps alternate dimension of suns rising in the west vs east. A mirror of some sorts - perhaps of ourselves learning the tough lessons before reaching fulfillment.
Well done. You're doing really well this year. You can see the effort going into your pieces.

Thank you very much Ahavati.
The title is from Neil Peart's book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road. After the passing of his wife and daughter, he took a break from the band and rode his motorcycle through North America. It's really an aspiring work and I thought it really does give hope to those who have experienced loss and tragedies in their lives.

It's a great poem with a very good subject. In your poem you can show how the human spirit can endure a lot and finally prevail.

Thank you very much Joseph.
I was just telling Ahavati, it was inspired by the book Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road which offers exactly that, the human spirit prevailing.
