Raw energy and will to live

Electric Highways Singing


Electric highways sing through open lines

Lullaby's hum good-byes as morning calls

Hang out before they hang up a smile

Yellow birds come to cling

Come alive up on live wires

Thin metallic demarcations safe

That stretch the mind for miles yet to come


Cords stretched to their limits live

A golden sun pops up

Explodes with power outward

Cuts through ice frosted colored trees

Melting before the freeze

Gleaming forth as light awakenings on tomorrow


Roads go silent, worn like Winter white

Unfold wide and long along the path

Against horizons endlessness

Fixed with electric poles that stand

Like soldier sentries stationed down the line

Held up by wooden poles as props in places Spring forgot


Tires nourish the asphalt speeding black attachment there

Wheels hungry for the next turn excel in humble fever

Eat up miles going nowhere fast

Highways know about communicating speed

Electric highways sing,  perceptibly, unbelievably clear


Blue sky, green trees, purple mountains

Turn into pastel clouds invisibility up ahead

Pink, cotton candy, licked by rain


Electric highways dance, jump through the age of volts

Take to the pastures excited through wires as speeding light

What's in a name when happiness repeats itself the same

In song, to be alive, breath in the miles crackling with raw sound

Begin again electric, singing, through the wires to that mortal end
