The Night Highway

Existence

By Mercedes ChavezPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Flying down the night highway

I watch the lights from the world pass below me

Lightning flashes behind storm clouds

It creates the perfect mix of shadows and light

The rumble of the thunder is the only thing to be heard

I reach out and feel the clouds pass through my fingers

Not a single soul stirs in the night

I am not seen, nor heard

I question whether I exist on this Earth or not

If I disappeared on the night highway

Would anyone notice that I was gone?

With one deep breath

I let go, falling into the void

My only company being what lies in the shadows

If there is a life after this

I will find you again

Both are engraved into my soul

My soul will always recognize yours

Mercedes Chavez

Come with me, lets go on an adventure together, see the world through my eyes, let me paint a picture with my words, I promise you will be able to feel what I felt the first time I experienced it. Love, sadness and everything in between.
