Analysis of A Country Artist



What makes me feel good
Is a road ahead of me
And a full tank of gas
And remote scenery

And I always return
I am not running away
I bring painting or poem
That I find along the way

There is an artist in me
That I learned to embrace
And to walk on that journey
And do what it takes

River bluffs stretch below
The Bald Eagle up in the skies
I partake a mindful retreat
To gain perspective on life
