The road sings low key
A barely audible soliloquy
Beneath the diesel’s solemn growl
Sun sinks behind trees
Horizon is lost
And foreground focuses
Blacker than night
The road is a river
Lined with ghostly white
Time measured in miles
Night’s rhythm runs
To the Song of the Road
Features darkly etched
By instrument glow
Driver fixates on dawn ahead
And dawn will come
When the truck once more
Catches the Sun
And the Song of the Road
Will rumble on
Through the new-born day
