Poem Commentary

This poem is dedicated to a kind man who drives the line 60 bus at night. May the creator continue to bless him and take him to heights he has never known.

Night Driver

Night Driver  37  Lines

Blue shirt, navy kakis, and blue coat,
Smiles at you as if he just found his favorite night cloak,
Ushers each passenger as if they were his own whom he must take care of,
As if he was the transporter who was the sweetest dove,

Knows the faces of his regulars like he knows the back of his hand,
And for the select few his heart cries out with compassion to understand,
He carries us down the trek to the city of peace,
And back again to the streets of the city where it seems angels leave in numbers, decrease,

Watches over his passengers as god watches over us,
Not always present but in a heartbeat right there beside us,
Kindly lets us off as the creator allows us free will, and lets us on our way,
But recieves us with open arms as if we met him for the first time all over again that day,

Speaks of numbers as they weave a lineage of blood,
That goes farther back than the days of the great flood,
Talks of city streets as if they were his buddies, his friends,
And any ill will was swiftly made amends,

Prays over the bus that he, the people in it and the bus itself is secure,
So that foul or unfoul, evil cannot roam impure,
Takes a night jog around the city of peace to heal himself,
Returns with vigor and a load of eternal wealth,
Sings like David praises, with joy, from his soul, and with all his might,
His voice is heard by the creator and pleases his ears in heavens light,

Eats his food because while he is great he is still humble, man,
But rests his faith in the creators master plan,
Finishes his work as the sun shows his mighty face,
Returns to work again in the night to shine like the moons grace,
Smiles again to repeat what he feels the creator has called him to do come what may,
The night driver, thank you for your kindness and peace at bay.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
