On a Road Trip

(written in 2008)

The pale and hazy moon

Above the endless dark fields

Is my only solace,

As we speed through this lonely road

On this trip that is taking too long.

I want to say goodnight to love.

The path to the highway seems endless,

And I am kept awake

By the bumps and turns

Of this shortcut we have taken.

Though I am keeping an eye on the road,

I want to say goodnight to love.
