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.
