Shift

I shift the car into drive it slides into the vast mystery of night far down the road passes A road less traveled by the masses A dark vault of heaven encompasses as sleep drifts stars flair here and there into the deep depth far away into endless darkness cities of man burn on the horizon miles are far and away lost by the side of the highway seeing Zion far far behind Drawn deep into the early dawn the road flows to the point of vanishing A mystery within the mystery, majesty of the enigmatic night Horizon is where my future awaits in the borderlands fleeting From the sacred and profane I sit and contemplate I shift the car into drive turning the car into the coming storm far on the seam headlights cutting gloom deep I shift the engine into drive down a road, less traveled upon.

Very enjoyable read Tyler :) and it is because I think we have all found ourselves on the desolate, dark roads of the deep night. Wonderfully constructed!

Thanks again for the wonderful words. I think we all have been at this point. I know I did in my early 20s on a desolate road I made a connection between past present and future driving home for Christmas. It left such a profound impression it made its way to other poems you can find on here that was written during this period on my life. Even though most of my work is left open for your interpretation like little Rorschach tests you’re welcome to explore. So thanks again for the great comment.
