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.
