changed my perspective.

I drove on the freeway

the moon joined in 

called shotgun and

leaned against the passenger door

pressing its forehead 

letting the cold glass window

numbing itself to life.

Orion pulled open the back door

hopped into the backseat.

Saturn didn't mind sitting in the middle

and Zenith took the last free seat. 

We told each other stories

promising not to hurt each other

driving for hours

recalling lives that walked the ground

Broken hearts

hope ignited

and wishes unfulfilled

Until finally

our ears were captivated by the melody 

the came from the dashboard--

I built up speed

slapped by shadows 

of light posts

Lulling us awake

Words of past lives

filled our hearts

Moments that we witnessed

unified by clear skies

late nights and 

cold winters. 

still and quiet

moments undisturbed

only by the numbers 

that measured 

minutes of the night.

Until Sun called us home.
