A Line of Sunlight

Suddenly I was standing
on the edge of
the promised land
I had imagined
all my life

at the gate
land on the horizon
of a forever sea
of forever hopes
and dreams
over the bridge
through the open door

a line of sunlight
changes a dark room
to colors unseen
unknown

until now I realize
I had forgotten
the feeling of
euphoria.
