town roads ( driving around )

(amended from July 2nd poem – What is this? )
What is this are these?
While days & days
& miles & miles driving solo on open road
interstate highway
width 2 or 3 lanes
stretched out >> on-going miles
times of clustered traffic
times of reflective openness
centered on left
centered on right
the rolling green grasses and trees.
Thoughts in my head,
come and go, not related to miles
sometimes endless
sometimes slowing to a silence
SILENCE is good
silence is what i WANT:
I value the presence – this all around:
the greens so close; all around,
on my left – on my right
a single tree there
another tree there
each so singular –
cushioned touch(S)
betweens
all these touches
with MY
visual reach and touch
What is this now given to me?
An answer to prayer
( Here, just so here )
David of Danbury
