the rain persists
breaklights shine brightly Infront of us
as grey skies dip down as if to touch the road ahead
familiar views go missing under the dull featureless sky
tryes throw up sprayrain pounds the windscreen
wipers work overtime
messages on matrix signs reflect in puddles ahead
breaklights shine out once more
the traffic closes up
our headlights shine on the vehicle in front of us
through the mist and rain
cars
caravans
motorhomes
vans and lorries
all with important places to go
again start chomping up the miles
until
once more
the break lights appear again!
