Eternity

The single car shot down the long stretch on that cold winters evening
A single driver grasping the wheel barely turning it in the last 20 minutes nor saying a word
And from the driver a single tear arose
It cascaded down her cheek, like fog on glass
It burnt through branding her pain for eternity
She lowered her head and closed her eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink
Thought of all the pain and sickness in the world
Thought of all that's wrong
But then for a reason that will remain forever unknown
She thought of all that was right
Thought of all the love and all the caring
But stricken was she from this dream like state by the screams of one once loved
And felt his pain
Felt his warmth
Felt his warm embrace as the upcoming edge arrived
And for some reason that will remain forever unknown
She lowered her head and closed her eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink
And she went in peace
And felt the liberation and the freedom
On that cold winters evening
