Backroads
Location
I look out the window to my right and see the sun rising.
I look to my left and see the clouds reflecting red and pink light.
I look in my rearview mirror at the stressful world I am leaving behind.
I look forward and see nothing but a long stretch of dirt road.
One arm is resting on the windowsill.
The other casually gripping the steering wheel.
My radio blasting country music, but I am not listening.
It is times like this where i can truly relax and enjoy life.
I can feel the tires gripping the packed red dirt.
I can feel the heat of the sun on my neck as it continues to rise.
I can feel all of my worries and problems slipping away.
There is no rush. There is no bustle. There is nothing holding me back.
There is nothing but a man, his truck, and the road.
