Promised Land

I drove in darkness

with fear’s downpour

reflecting off the asphalt.



My eyes cannot decipher

what’s real from what’s

painted with neon colors.



But then the streetlights

glow from within

this broken-down car.



And I finally see where

I was headed would

lead me nowhere.



So I hang a U-turn

and let you lead me

to the Promised Land.
