Driving Home

By: Loretta Shiver

Driving home
Everything is done
My heart is satisfied
Turning west
The sun fills the sky
With burning orange
Only black silhouettes whispering
Where once the traffic flowed
The world is filled
With bright orange silence
And I am lifted into the sky
A curve in the road
Color returns
But the silence and peace remain
