#177 Leaving Everything Behind...

I was heading further north

driving on a long route

it was post mid-night,

pitch black

with intervals of street lights,

and blue-board milestone markers

every few miles..

The visibility was not too poor

but hard to see anything in the rear view,

what was left behind

was left to the night,

a little unknown to the dim neon patches

on the road side..

I wanted to move ahead, but

it was hard to leave everything,

all that was part of me

a place I called home

to a place far, and unknown...
