Enlightened In The Backseat Of A Taxi Cab Poem by tony haynes

A taxi that picked me up
The other day
Had a driver-slash-philosopher behind the wheel
Efficient were his driving skills
It was his down-to-earth branded
Spiritual style
That made my trek through town worthwhile

Because he taught me to let go and to cling
Everything is God and God is every thing
Life is more than one time, and once I travel through
If I connect with God, then I connect with you
Endless times I’d heard but never spoke up
Verses were too high for me to grab
Endless nights I slept, I finally woke up…

…Enlightened in the backseat of a cab
