A Lesson

A winding, twisting road

Cliff on my right

A wall of rocks on my left

Fast – Faster

Traveling this winding road

I cannot see up or down

Forward

Onward

No turning back

Light drives

I am a passenger

Colors surround this vehicle

Up

Down

Twisted turns

Like a roller coaster

Yet, peace fills

My being

Up, up, up

Focused forward

Brilliant lights

Stopping suddenly

Before me

Stands Jesus

“How was the ride?” he asks.

A gleam in his eye

“Quite fun and exhilarating,” I said.

A lesson to remember

Stay focused on what is ahead and now

Not behind and in the past

The present will prepare

The future will express

The past is now nothing
