Palisades Parkway

Streaming down the Palisades Parkway,
trees roll by in stately procession,
distant hills framed in their embrace,
as the road snakes ahead of me.

Sliding down this highway
like blood through a vein,
I glide through this borderland,
the edge between two worlds.

How beautiful, this dance
between the world of Nature
and the world of Man!

What serendipity,
to be cradled thus,
in my little machine,
within these verdant arms!
