Dusk

When you’re on an endless highway 
is there any hope at all
that a destination will be reached, 
and you can finally fall
back in the arms of the one you lost, 
in the home you left behind?
For despite the years spent traveling, 
more highway’s all I find. 

They say that life’s a journey, 
comprised within a dream. 
A quest designed to test the will 
and faith in things unseen. 

So each day when the sun sinks low 
and the highway fades to dusk,
I look and see you standing there 
and know I that can trust.
Thus, I keep traveling on and on 
and fight this empty stare, 
and fill the time with dreams of when… 
I’ll finally reach you there.
