just another bozo at the bus terminal

fearful he rose from the ashes of hellfire
singed skin scorched soul and blistered mind
his heart full of charcoal burdened the flight
yet carbon cinder fuelled an escape route 
from the trajectory of death or eternal damnation

when a tiny glimpse of ember cast hope
of renewal change growth and survival
he gave in to the vital force of the universe 
and embarked on a miraculous journey
imbued by restoration gratitude and love

Bozos R Us. All looking for a way out, an escape route to a higher and better plane. Or, to borrow from your metaphor, a bus route to paradise lane
