Like This Would Never End

Speeding along side each other
In machines of sound and thunder
Down a dark and foggy lane
Late at night feeling no pain.

This early morning we together  

Over that straight and narrow 

Road we raced, we faced fear

While coursing through our veins 

With blood, courage to drive against 

Unknown, unimpeded, unheeded.

Faster we went, we drove 

We passed signs which warned

Of impending doom 

If we continued

Like the loons we were, 

We knew, but we cared little  

In the looming lesser light

Of a moon which shared  

What it could 

Like a friend

That understood

This need to speed

Against the odds, 

To live like this

Would never end.
