at one asphalt road stretches toothpick straight flat and narrowing into a horizon that never moves sizzling rubber clicks and zips hypnotically over sun cracked and tar patched pavement as silent sands peppered with brush struggle against an intruder's vortex mirages make magic with puddles that appear and disappear behind sinuous veils of heat boiling my imagination occasional critters skitter and dash across my path shaking me from this trance i've found in the mantra of the highway |

You've captured this scene perfectly Mike. I used to become almost hypnotized driving the highway an hour back and forth to the office each day in the summertime. I know this vision well. Excellent imagery!  Best wishes, /Kit |

 BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, I know this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, just watching the lines diverge into the distance always draws me in as if it was the Twilight Zone! (big hugggsssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is excellent! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mike, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Thank you all.....having thousands of miles of desert driving under my belt, I found these images somewhat easy to relate. Glad I could take you along for the ride.*S* Mike |
