green lights

sometimes
the lights
go on,
and stay on,
a whole string
of green
lights against
the night sky,
the road
is open
and there is
no need to brake.
the kiss
is good,
the moment
just right.
you want to
stay on
the open road
a little
longer, hit
the pedal,
hug the curves,
take the long
way around,
and enjoy
the wind, the
view. you
want to see
what lies
ahead on this
new road
you've taken.
