A wish repeated

A stretch of highway in Pennsylvania wore a mantle of pure blackness.
Fear took hold of me.
Wisps of fog were bitter ghosts,
Skittering leaves were mischievous creatures,
Gusts of wind were shouts of fury.
But I remembered the shooting star a few miles back
And everything changed.
Every inch of darkness became an opportunity for fleeting beauty, again.
