Stop Sign (Poem)

I'm taking one last look... at the twisted road my life once took... the ups, the downs, the dangerous curves... the increasing speed of thrumming nerves... the railroad tracks, slow moving trains... and all the times we had to wait... the caution signs of things gone wrong... the work zones that made us strong... the biggest hills and steepest drops... and all the things we wish we'd stopped... So now I'm taking one last look... at the twisted road my life once took... and all these things I'll leave behind... as I come upon this last stop sign.
