Riding Through the Night

Above the clouds, beyond the tree she stays. Remaining thus, the moon is chaste for now, Allowing not her well-worn face to show The many scars belying better days. I glide along, my wheelchair making way For no man here, the streets bereft of flow, Garages closed to keep their cars in stow. I roam the night, while they may share the day. Secluded thus I flee from ghosts untold Who question where my life has gone astray While broken paths and other wrecks unfold. I’m lost and cannot seem to find my way Toward peace of mind, a way out of the cold; The growing mist thus edging joy away.
