Driving : A Poem


driving

journeys to know where?

on a journey no destination in mind

the road becomes zenified

lit up in the night, trucks roar past


driving

diesel explorations to somewhere

on a road trip caught up in the moment

the flow of speed rapid caught in the momentness

engines charging the sense of time fades


driving

like motion unfettered by the wind

on a mind trip feeling endorphins kick in

the cerebral explorations as the mind wanders

stopping at truck stops to observe the night life


driving

a healthy stock of alternative rock music to go

on a music kick jammin' out to an ethereal tune

the past is not so far behind moving into the future

diet coke keeps my adrenaline in motion with the lanes


driving

a pure simple pleasure one only needs a set of wheels

on a map or driving blind deep into the sweet darkness

the window down smoke blowing out breathing in nicotine

i treasure the drive it is a blissful harmony highway
