Destinations
Wilderness journey untamed
personal determination trails trained
some roughing it motel style
hot coffee warm stomach smile
pleasures sought, experiences made
occasional desert streams cascade
defining moments of open space
living fatigue, and tension erase
visitors, planned escaping vacation
returning home, listeners of admiration
considered stately scenery
sharpened prickly cactus greenery
gravitating spirits of choice
eventual attitude destination rejoice
emphasis concentration not to think
trickling mental vibrations slowly shrink
gaining attention perception speaks
resting wishful endless weeks
praise the vast open wind
with each passing moment time thinned
