Faster Than The Dawn Poem by Midnight Clarity

I raced the dawn this morning
faster than light around the corners,
up the hills and down the dales...
Must have been faster, I was in shadow,
the light behind me spreading, stretching
never catching even a glint in the mirror
as I drove full force for home.
The road was clear, so empty and
so fast it took me with it, up and down
around, across and under all the
roundabouts, aspinning in their
grey gleam of light approaching,
not quite touching, not quite day;
just dawn playing drag and tag
with me across the waking land.
