Night became morning
Clouds of ink
Above the motorway
And behind us
The commencing day

Layers of colours
Silent screen
Images arise
And behind us
Was a hidden sunrise

In the sparse light of morning
So near to you
Love’s whispered warning
We might get bruised

I was enjoying the lights
The lights on my dashboard
Fading out with the night
Those dashboard lights

The miles we drove
The distance shared
Led us to believe
We were headed
For some minor peace
