Along the Long Road

Easy asked the long hauler,
"What passed in the night?"
and if some sort of vision
had passed through her sight?

Did the sounds of the tire-treads,
some message relay?
Did they sing her a love song
of some other day?

Did the thoughts of a soft touch
intrude on her mind?
Did the thoughts of a lost soul
make two of a kind?

Has desire touched her yet where
soft brushing lips might
fall as soft as a whisper
that comes in the night?
