on the road and into the night
spontaneity regales
an endless journey and bright lights
our destiny prevails
a silver circle bestills itself
out of the charcoal sky
as we ponder on its existence
we stop to let out a sigh
a rainbow reflects the moon at night
but no colour do we see
only a silvery grey ring
to reveal its identity
almost alien I suspect
as the hairs on my neck stand tall
overwhelmed by this creation
never before seen as I recall
no more than five minutes
it's life was not long
but the mark it left upon my heart
will be a memory forever strong.......................
