Remix #1 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 27

 Not Luck

 

Today, as I drive for seven hours,

I don’t put my trust in luck.

That could be dangerous.

 

Driving through barren deserts,

over steep mountain passes,

going 80 miles an hour on I40

among the eighteen-wheelers,

feeling like a puppy in a cattle herd.

 

Rolling down Beeline highway

like marbles in a long, curvy tube

as the sun turns the sky pink

and long-armed saguaro cactus

stand guard at Mesa’s entrance.

 

Thank You for being

my traveling companion,

whether I’m home or on the road.

 

I trust You, not luck.
