Planned Escapades

To exit from a highway taken,
For a route believed easier traveled...
With an arrival successfully achieved,
When one happily reaches that destiny.
Against the advice of flashing warning lights.
Says one thing about who is behind the wheel...
Feeling untouchable and refusing to pay attention.

Running out of gas on a dusty road,
To choose to walk whether slow or fast...
On a path one makes through a wilderness,
Gives...
One plenty of time to think!

And...
With appreciated patience,
One finds no longer speeds to escapes...
When the planning of escapades,
Are wished to never again forget...
To prioritize with emphasis!
