Unlikely path

The goal is not far
But i do not see the path
With brambles strewn
It must be dark?
Is this the road that leads
On to my destiny?
It could not be
Such a grime-ridden dusty artery
That no moonbeam
Or sunlight can illumine,
But all other lit paths
Don't bear the sign.
So head i do
On this fortuitous path
With no trees, or water
And oh so dark.
But as i reach the very end
I see paradise at the very bend--
I've reached my goal now alas!
Now the next milestone to be crossed.
