Desert Highway

Desert Highway, Highway 127, Death Valley Road, Dumont Little Dunes, California, United States of America

Desert highways
Strips of empty pavement
Crossing expanses of isolation
Lifeless seeming, lonesome

Stillness, quiet, patience
Reveal a vibrant pattern of life
Just as for the terrain they cross

Just as stillness, quiet, patience
Reveal the vibrant pattern of being

Within

Desert Highway
Hwy 127
Death Valley Highway
Dumont Little Dunes
California, United States of America

Taken during travels, 2019

LOVE it!! A Gordon Lightfoot song comes to mind…”Carefree Highways” (may or may not be the title, but it has that phrase).
