random night part 3

random night part 3

A Poem by Christopher Thomas Woods

Our character is seen walking from a back yard
to his car parked on the street

Its 1am and the nights activities are done
and all the guests are heading their
separate ways

He unlocks his car
Jumps inside
Changes his tunes
And looks in his mirror

Seeing a different person
his eyes aren't surprised

The car starts and the speakers
unload a new sound to his ears

"No one else is here, and I cant get a sense of nothing"

These words hit him like
a bright sun on a clear winters day

He can't avoid them as they sink into
his skin, and to his soul

He has heard this song a thousand time
and never knew who it was for until then

He burned a smoke to calm himself down
but his body was having none of that
It only enhanced the experience
but this didn't upset him

By then these processed beats and melody's
were a part of him and he began to wonder his
eyes as he drove across the town bridge

He saw street lights glaring for miles
And stars looking down on him as if
this was his time and no one else's

The music suddenly stops
and a solo yell came to his ears

"Music is my life, my love"

His heart was beating harder
and goose bumps began to appear on his skin

Nothing like this had ever happen before
and he knew it may never happen again

But he was fine with that because
he would never forget any part of this
experience

By now he was parked in front of his house
but he wouldn't shut off the car until the song ended

When the music stopped
He reached for the cd case
and began looking at track names

Track 4- I.D.
He now knew what this was all about

He now knew that his spirit
would go on forever
and as long as this song was played
he would be immortal

Believe it or not ,I think you can pull something out this. I looked at part 1. I didn't see a part 2. Part 3 seems like he just discovered something and you could end this series on a high note. Part one reads pretty much like an average persons day doing things that are probably routine. If you could some how insert how he's feeling about his life or wondering about his worth. It seems introspective to me. I'd say rewrite it and you probably got a good one. Or a nice series.
