In Absolute Darkness

Do you know what its like to be in absolute darkness? I do. And I want to be back on a foggy night where winter doesn't fall too far the only thing you can see is a distant street light yellow and gold glowing from the distance the wet leaves that fell from the trees fill the night with a dewy smell darkness. I turn the key bright headlights flood the road one line, two lines, they all combine into a white blur keeping me from crossing into the abyss I could drive forever alone. I want to be gone again back to my home.
