Midnight Run II

 

Under a brilliant full moon,

My motion is a silent shadow

On the smooth concrete sidewalk.

Ahead, my path has become

a sparkling ribbon of liquid silver,

Winding up and into the far back of beyond.

Euphoric with the privilege and harmony of it all,

I glide past the moon and speed through Orion,

A particle of cosmic dust in the vastness,

In weightless peace and tranquility,

To greet infinity and the unknown.
