Poetry / 3 am Highway

Thank you for your review.  I liked your interpretation of the poem.  I am of the opinion that the best poems are versatile enough to have different meanings to different readers.  

Actually the poem has darker undertones.  I composed it on the drive home after an extremely short visit with my son.  I saw the emptiness of the road early in the morning and felt how empty my life was at the time.  I started thinking about all the goals that I had in life, how I prepared a “mapâ€? of where I wanted to be and things I wanted to have, a family and career.  A related poem also uploaded here, virus, will shed light on the “detourâ€? in my life and, afterwards I felt rather lost.  

I hope the explanation doesn’t destroy your more positive outlook on the poem.  I appreciate an alternate view.

Now, I am mostly a positive person, every poem holds prospects to each each reader, even knowing the background, I still find this one enchanting.  You still have the open road in front of you.  You still have free will, what you do on that road, is up to you.  Try to find your “happy ending.”  If not, at least not the bad ending.
