The Drive

Alone together we go
Up the 5
Miles of emptiness
Stretching vast
Past the towns
And gas stations
Along the way
Miles and hours
Fall behind us
Town to City
To nothingness
Drive through it all
Searching for the place
We hope to find
And we'll know it
When we stop there
Small town by the sea
No stop lights to be found
Just a solitary stop sign
At the town square
Rolling hills of green
By the cemetery
Waters lapping the tiredness
Away from our eyes
