Journey

We travelled through the night Towards nowhere I remembered The turning of the wheels was pulling sleep Into my body The car was like a womb The streetlights passed like heartbeats The past I left behind Was fading but not forgotten As we drove on, my mind could focus on nothing Because nothing felt real Just a sense of disorientation There was nothing to do but abandon myself To the journey Let the changes wash over Let them renew and sustain me; And the cities spread their lights As if ports in an ocean of darkness Gateways to a life Cut loose from soil and starlight Moment by moment The buildings grew taller Second by second The skyline went soaring up; Cats eyes and white line slurred by And people were everywhere The future written on every wall In this new time This new town This new home
