At day’s end I climb into my auto gleaming
And like a silver salmon swimming
I move along the concrete streams of
Interstate highway 109
Drawn by unseen demons dancing
Ever splashing onward dashing into rays yellow slanting
On I go swiftly moving navigating smoothly
Through white waters in my head and in my soul
Alpha beta delta theta waving pulsing and convulsing
Extolling precious price for previous postures
Whipping weakened weary body
Into flagging frazzled frenzy likely shocking sons and daughters
And ladies of innocence
But before all is lost control is gained and once
More forward moving I gather speed and momentum
Falling headlong into Revelations
Breaking through seals one through seven
I scream with pain to the terrible crushing roar
Of the silence in the dark of the deep
Heavy impenetrable void of the black
Silent mystery we know as God-
Let us pray.
This is so poetic or lyrical, Benn. It is sad how travel doesn’t always seem to just go with the flow. The hustle and bustle of life creates quick trips not meandering paths. . . Hugs, Robin
