Highway

I was driving across the highway,
The sun was settling down.
The night was slowly crawling out,
With it's deep black gown.


The breeze flew right over my face,
Whispering into my ear;
"Go slow, be calm and relax" - It said
"Just reverse your life gear".


The chirping of birds was slowly fading;
As every minute passed by;
Distant lights slowly became visible,
Animals started to howl, squeak and cry.


The fields were silent and dark,
And crops swung with the breeze
I felt some one was calling out to me,
Someone had made me freeze!!


The serene surrounding filled my heart with joy,
And I stopped my car to observe;
There was indeed so much to learn and experience,
So much to enhance the learning curve.


But, a far away place awaited me,
With it's warm hands for me to hold,
So I had to drive my way through the highway;
I had to drive away from the cold.....!!
