Stranded

The storm had wiped out the road

Stranded

the weather has changed and it's changed for the worse

the roads can no longer be traveled at least not this road

I am stranded all alone here beaten waiting for the hearse

no longer do I have the strength to carry this heavy load

I should have listened to the forecast given so very clear

do not go there it's way to dangerous you may not return

my eyes and ears were mystified and showed no concern or fear

lost in a secret trance from magic herbs I could not feel the burn

Nirvana was just a dream not a place where I could stay

though it seemed so possible yes even doable at times

gardens where the flower grew have sadly withered away

and all of the silly words meant to make loves rhymes

and now it's clear there will not be any last second save

so I close my eyes and slip off to sleep waiting for relief

the fair princess the one I want who made me her slave

stolen heart stolen soul and is now sharing in the grief

I never really ever thought that I would go this way

but then I never new that I could be so enchanted

but I wouldn't change a single thing at least not today

the road once so wonderful now I'm completely stranded

I have been stranded in my lifetime. I had to stay in Reno for two days waiting for the snow plowed to make going over the mountain into California safe. It leave you in a strange place with no place to go. I like how you expanded the story in the poem.
