The skies opened up

As if to say

“No pleasant drive for you.

Let’s see you pass this trial.”

Water falling from

The heavens

Coming hard and heavy

Forming fluid walls

Outside the window it

Appears as if you’re underwater

There is light

Yet, no visibility

Choice: to stop and wait

Or continue on a wing and a prayer

Finally arrived

Placed in park

Sigh of relief

This trial is over
