The Nights' Dazzler

Driving on blacktop, eyes lighting my way.
A big bright ball follows, alongside the freeway.

He’s bouncing along nonchalantly without a care.
I tried to outrun him but, he is still there!
 
The huge luminous ball suddenly disappears!
Sinister cumuli sneak up and quickly appear.

Intermittently he peers through their masks.
But, he could not see, giving up alas~

The kidnappers would not set him free.
The dark-hued night was sullen and broody.

Midnight passes, showing a glimmer of promise.
Shinning up above was a grand starry fortress

Slipping out timidly, brighter than ever~
The big bright ball, the nights’ dazzler!
