My Unwritten Piece
Am thinking of the words
To pen down than unwritten piece
As i drown huge mugs of coffee
In the middle of the night
Meanwhile the rain keeps falling outside
I miss my midnight stroll which i cant take
Since the authorities have warned me
Against walking alone in the dark
They don't understand that to me
Its shedding off fear of the unknown
The allure of danger and the allure
Of hearing me think that delightful
Even if i wanted i wouldn't go out now
Not after the authorities threatened
To revoke my prized security pass
As they grew tired of turning a blind eye
To my many transgressions
I miss my nightly walks
The danger of distance gunshots
The trail of thought as i taste
The feel of the ocean on highway 56
As i imagine military bombers landing
On the straight stretch during a red dawn
Red dawn style siege.. the approaching
Police van dimming its headlights and passing
I miss the freedom of the road
Letting my creative mind fly
As i engage a person in my mind
About the merits of the road
And the absence of danger
In a path preordained
In a path predestined
In a path of exploration
A path of ascension
Of mind and thoughts
