The highway marks the true nomad,

With the sun shining and the rumbling beneath the legs.

It marks the first ride,

The sun setting,

The air feeling infinite.

It makes the nomad feel,

The echo of motors thundering,

Going somewhere, but nowhere.

Each bend curving just the right way,

The horizon just before him,

Welcoming him with open arms.

Brothers surrounding him,

Formation inevitable,

The dark leather imprinted.

It marks the final ride,

A blissful destination,

The true nomads home.
