The Bend

Racing at breakneck speed,
as milestones whir by,
a distant, solitary tree beckons,
at a distant, solitary bend.

Route changes at each bend,
Destinations never do.

No, afford i cannot to stop
to breathe or gulp or gasp.
fir my destination is somewhere away,
far from the distant, solitary bend.

Route changes at each bend,
Destinations never do.

Ah, so tempting is the shade,
my legs refuse to leave.
My lids shut off my light,
as I droop on the solitary bend.

Route changes at each bend,
Destinations never do.

Eyes open, I see a vision hitherto unseen,
appearing on the horizon, a new path hitherto untread.
my sojourn's trajectory altered,
at the distant, solitary bend.

Route changed at the bend,
Destination never did.
