All Roads Lead to Sway

We took the turning into Sway

We took the turning into Sway

Unknown to us.

We ambled gently into

A beautiful wild world

That had been sleeping;

Waiting for our arrival.

As I saw this wondrous place

I thought of you

And how you would have loved

Its beauty too…

Another sign post;

‘Sway’, it said.

And so we followed the sign

And took another road;

A disappointing cul-de-sac,

With houses not old;

Not new.

I thought of you…

How you would have laughed

At its glumness too…

“All roads lead to Sway”,

My companion said.

Do they?

I thought

And then I realised

I was thinking of you.

My friend was wrong

All roads

Don’t lead to Sway,

They lead to you.
