too far from here

the expanse
before me

beckons not

yet neither will I return
to well-worn paths
made trite by overuse.

distant variation
stirs the wanderlust

but not enough
to cross the road

bear the arid flatness

and
ramble
through
the
sagebrush.


FUTURE ~ PIC AND A WORD CHALLENGE #260

This week let’s strike out for the Future, or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of Badwater Road as it leaves Death Valley National Park, stage left, in California, USA.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is (usually) a weekly creativity prompt offered Mondays.
