The Road Never Breaks

Wind biting hard through cracked glass haze

Rubber on the gravel forked highway maze

Steel beast groans engine breathing smoke

One man against wild emptiness spoke

Tracks disappear where the pine trees sleep

Each twist a gamble shadows running deep

Diesel stench lingers miles from a soul

Facing down nature fire keeps him whole

The road never breaks but it bends his will

Fighting cold fighting dark heart beating still

Through storms through silence where the wild won’t play

He’ll drive through fear chasing dawn’s new day

Eyes like iron scanning predators’ paths

Moonlight bouncing off old hood’s wrath

Hands gripping steering wheel calloused stone

A warrior riding rough truth alone

Snow’s fist pounding rain sneaks into cracks

Mountains laughing no mercy it attacks

He won’t kneel Mother Earth won’t hear his cry

Pressing forward life’s anthem amplified

The road never breaks but it bends his will

Fighting cold fighting dark heart beating still

Through storms through silence where the wild don’t play

He’ll drive through fear chasing dawn’s new day
