Highway and the Stranger
March 24, 2009 by hames-1977
A silhouette of a stranger
divides the cable wires
and the rugged highway.
The afterthought
this twilight casting
petrified shadows.
Blurring visions
of the tempest tossed
are gathering storms
in his oblivion.
His quiet stares
from the sideroad
fills a void
among stratus clouds
sojourning distances.
Seeing past roadsigns.
Crossing through bridges
and some ditches
winding through,
for solitary meaning.
The stranger moves on
to wide open spaces.
Horizon travelled by
fading to endless
miles and miles- of his
counting cable wires.
Where ebbs and crests
of hanging raindrops
are waiting to fall
between his deep sighs.
