On the Road at Night
A brush of velvet dusk above my head gleaming with promises of starlight as I stare out the car window
Trees telephone wires and neon signs rushing the tired people towards the highway exits
I rest my head against the gray leather beneath the window
Watching
As everything flicks by like the reel of a moving picture too fast for my hungry eyes to follow
The sky is the only thing that remains the same
A stretch of constant pale candlelight transcending through the cosmos to make a twinkle appear in my eye
Light is beautiful when compared to the darkness of night
A holy glow drifting towards me from the realm of absent light
Behind these windows the darkness is safe
I have always loved the way the light moves across the places I have been
How in the darkness I only see the light.
If I blur my eyes entire cities melt away
White orange and yellow are the only colors I see in an otherwise black ocean of sky
Lights
Floating as treasured and pure as a child’s imagination
Breaking the shadows on the empty pavement
As we move along into the night.
