Sound Travels

Missing image

 

~~~~~

 

 

There’s a car in the distance
growling and pawing its way down the road
and I wonder where it's going in such a hurry

It’s so lonesome
how the sound travels
through clear black spaces
between doppler moments

I wonder what’s happening
on the other side of that sound
where another voice sings harmony

with the radio
and runs through the dark
where lights shine on a destination

    the doppler gives it a whole new dimension.

    yes, sounds do always seem more lonesome at night...I guess it's that big expanse of blackness. Love the pensiveness of this. Enjoyed

    Yeahhh, that second stanza, Karen. I hear ya, my Friend. "doppler moments"...how many of those I spent, burrowed under blankets that wouldn't matter in the least when the tempest decided to land. This is such a quietly pensive piece pouring from your illustrious quill, Madame Liberryan. I could almost hear Hank, Sr. warbling on a distant wind. Thank you for entering my contest, Sweetie. Good luck. Wander Lea
