The Drive

Giant drops like paint without color
  Splatter on my windshield
Wipers flicker like butterfly wings
  Desperately fighting the wind

Ahead upon a hazy horizon
  Golden arrows streak the sky  
Slick black carpets of tar
  Line the earth
There is no beginning there is no end

Tires wet and slick
  Struggle to stay in-between the lines of the road
I am a child gone astray
  With the last of a favorite crayon

Rain drops spreading wider, falling harder
   My heart harmonizes
With the sound of thunder
   I am on fire
I am moving fast in the hour of speed
  I am running free without constraint
Wheels pushing against the earth
  Till time marks the beginning  
Till time marks the end

Bill,

I can see you with the top down tooling along in a two seater. Sun shine all the way on the road to romantica.
