The miles that lay before us.
                                                                 The longest road.
Tarmac willowed into the sky at edge of the horizon.
Just a blue haze.
                                      Our destination.
                                                                           Our future.
Black through blue into grey merging to midnight
                                    And starlight...
                                         The nightlight...
                                               Burning bright...
Colouring the pastel sight, 
     Brushing the dust to tomorrow,
          Rushing towards each other
               From opposite ends of the road
                                    I seek the stars...
                                         I seek the night...
                                              I seek the right...
              To speak,
                                     That's all.
                                                          The great equaliser.
