Driving through the black night On the parkway, somewhere in Virginia He thought back on the look on his mother-in-law's face, Her cheeks wet, reflecting the light of the television Was it a game show or the news Reporting on a civil war time capsule unearthed? He thought back on the instant she heard Her little girl would be leaving in the new year. He considered this moment and knew He had experienced an incontestable surge of love. What's more, he knew that he had become ingrained, Entangled in the web of love that is family And it gave him a sense of comfort as he switched on his blinkers, Glided into the other lane and merged onto the highway ramp To drive north towards his childhood home.
He looked at the lights of the trucks Passing below and reflected on their beauty Aside from greens and reds of the dashboard, It was completely dark in the car's cabin And something was playing low on the radio. He thought about how strange it was That he had never been able to appreciate All that rusted steel and light hurling through the blackness. This observation made him feel warm inside And he realized he had progressed in some way.
He could never make sense of how it fit within the big picture But it was enough to have added another pin on the map He lingered in this heady buzz sent to him from some higher plane And focused all of his energy on staying in this moment He was so caught up in the magic of it all that he didn't even notice The high beams of the beautiful 18-wheeler As he veered into the next lane.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
