A Piece of the Truth


by Brian Jones



Added 13 October 1997


Wind rushes by in a
forty five mile an hour pace
while I sit like some
rough shod Buddha
bouncing in the back
of a frantic 4X4 spewing dust.

The sun flashes through the trees.
Glittering morse code path to
Enlightenment.
If only I could ignore it
I would become One.

Hands draped over knees
touch the unyielding
surface of the truck bed,
warmed by the heart of the beast.

I seek to absorb
the disharmony of the road
and make it one with my Soul.

The bumps and curves seek to throw me
but passiveness holds me firm.

A piece of the Truth becomes me.
