Description
Relief Road: The Blue Ridge Parkway is a calm, peaceful, and beautiful place to unwind. An original poem accompanies this Fall photo taken near Little Switzerland, NC.
Relief Road
The road is narrow, two lanes wide
It slips through hills and mountainside
Lined with trees of many colors
Tunnels through into another
World
In the city, streets are jammed
With cars and buses honking, rammed
Into a tunnel lined with stone
Buildings high and sunlight gone
To shade
Time stands still up in the hills
At lookouts with dramatic thrills
Of colors, beauty, spread below
A quiet view of nature's show
Of life
It isn't far to find relief
From traffic woes and crowded grief
Take two lane roads at thirty-five
Through forest glow to feel alive
The Parkway calls to Blue Ridge mounts
To sights and sounds and all that counts
In peace
