Moment of Truth

On the lonely freeway
By the empty parking bay
He knelt down to pray
And she wiped her tears away

She came from the west
And he from the east
Little did they know
They were destined to meet
Though separated by the beast

They were fleeing the city
For there ain’t no mortal pity
Always on the go
Driven by ego
Their lives were caught
Between despair and distraught

Drowned in the noise of digital beats
They couldn’t hear their souls tweet
No time to play, no time to meet
Forever at the mercy of Control-Alt-Delete

And when he opened his eyes
He felt her soulful cries
She felt his heart beat
Full of love and complete

In the stillness of the moonlit night
Their souls merged without a fight
They felt their oneness unfold
In a moment untold

There was nowhere to go
And nothing to forgo
In the moment of truth
They knew the beast was the ego
