A Song for Susan

Straight into the sky I soared

Under a blanket of uncertain stars,

Straight into the dark I bored

Amidst the glaring lights of wayfaring cars;

Nauseated by serpentine fumes,

Caught in the embrace of its coils;

Leveling my gaze at the road that looms

Ahead, I push on and toil.

I look for your light in a sea of lights,

Reinvigorated only by your glow, knowing

Each time I cross the midnight blue

Just brings me back to the dawn of you.

Happy birthday to my lovely (and not to forget, loving) wife, Susan. The music (and a lot of possible edits to the lyric) will come later. But God willing, I know we have the rest of our lives to make it.
