The Ceaseless Road

I crave the silence of the night
The hush of moon and stars
Time spent in silence, dark and still,
Instead of passing cars

I long to feel the night slip in
And wrap me in its peace.
But there is just no end in sight;
The highway does not cease.

The way is long, I can’t turn back,
Ahead lie miles and tears.
I long for darkness and the night
And rest from all these fears,
