Midnight Mile... Poem by Trevor Schulte

We all want to take
the midnight mile
where we can drive away
from every trial
We hop in the car
skidding out on the tar
ready to travel
only God knows how far
The trees wizz past
blurring as we gain speed
as we separate our wants
from our needs
The music blares
and all our cares
get lifted up to Him
in our prayers
The moonlight hits
and our path is clear
Our thoughts and emotions
become sincere
The worries fade
as the joy invades
everythings so perfect
there's no reason to be afraid
We discover our true identity
as we hit serenity
and our life becomes focused
on these simple amenities
Each heart beats
loud and strong
Dancing to the rhythm
of its own love song
The joy keeps building
as we take the midnight mile
and something appears
is it a smile?
Yes, its a signal
that perfection has been found
Its at this point
in which we can turn around
Because the midnight mile
has been completed
and the distress and headaches
have been defeated
