The Golden Brick Road
***Reimagined Intentions

my road to hell was built
with would haves and could haves,
wishes and promises,
fairy tales and fables,
shared around the hearth's fire,
fabricated morality,
good intentions
twisting and turning
somewhere over the rainbow.
a well-read path
worn smooth by a deluge of tall tales.
whispered promises of redemption
beyond the yellow brick road,
past the poppies,
well beyond the emerald city.

By happenstance, I was listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road earlier, one of my all-time favorite Elton John albums. I like your style. ⚡💙⚡
