Driving To the Light
driving away
from a long pristine shoreline
where waves roll upon sand
corralled by crumbling cliffs
driving toward
a haven for sunbathers
listening to ice cream vendor’s jingles
on boardwalk backed beaches
In the rear view mirror
darkness touches the ground
out where thousands of freedoms
shine in a sapphire sky
through the windscreen
an orange glow reaches to the heavens
a million incandescent possibilities
illuminating the avenues of advance
and you in the driver’s seat
lit by dashboard lights
your hands commanding the wheel
persistently pursuing promising prospects
