Hitchhike

 it's just a moment

when all has dimmed

a flicker of sun flitters

through the trees

catching your light flesh

in the darkening world

I'd let you hitchhike

for now if you ask

the night is lonely

without the moon and stars

and this road, well

it just doesn't see many cars

and I'd give you all

the past again if you ask

the breeze still whispers

what we had missed

it's just a moment

when the final rays

settle on your eyes

blinding me to you

daring to step in the dark

so far away and out of view

I'd let you hitchhike

giving you my feet for your shoes

and my heart for your drum

letting you thump around

in a life we once had
