refuge behind the steering wheel

Unsteadiness is eased,

by the consistency of passing white lines,

on a highway

in the darkness,

in the sunlight,

in the dusk,

and the dawn. 

Uncertainty is settled,

with the downbeats of the pulsing radio,

over the hum

of the engine,

of the wind,

of the tires,

and the thoughts.

Disattachment is welded,

beyond the heat of a sunroof,

with heartstrings

through the lies,

through the misconceptions,

through the apprehension,

and the doubt.

Accomplishment is discovered

in the reflection of the rear-view,

among memories

of heartache

of happiness

of growth

and identity.

Then wholeness is harvested,

through the clarity of the windshield,

with focus

on the future,

on the blessings,

on the faith,

and the purpose.
