Poem: Interstate Dreams

Pastoral prairie

splayed out before me

in a dazzle of fern, mint,

and emerald shades

grass in dancing blades

tossed like ocean waves in wind

Cerulean gaze

freckling clouded haze

casting shadows along hills

valley breeze blowing

prancing trees showing

frail cirrocumulus spills

Poured concrete highway

rushing underway

passing through growth and flurry

downwind from worry

soul-spent and blurry

still navigating journey
