Cruising down, the wet highway,
On a rainy, dark Monday night,
The only, few objects I can view,
Are reflections, from my headlights.
My right eye glancing, at the radio,
Watching the pavement, with my left,
Knowing A slip, either side of the lane,
I'm only about, three feet from death.
I notice small dull white dots,
Ahead in A distance, far away,
Start growing, to A large bright glare,
Vehicles approaching, from the other way.
This trip I'm on, A little over an hour long,
As I drive, sorting inspirations, within my head,
Planning to make it home safely, after A long day,
To relax, and dream, as I lay resting on my bed.

May you always arrive home safely, Tom. This piece sits the reader right behind that steering wheel, experiencing these usual sights but with new eyes and a bit of apprehension as we read he takes his eyes off the road occasionally and that there is a drop-off at the edge of the road and he is preoccupied with thoughts of home and therein we are left with a sense of mystery, a feeling of apprehension. May you always arrive home safe and sound. Very high marks for this!
