I heart Keno

The silver city nestled

in mountains jagged and round

carved up by miners and their reveries.

The highway stretching

back and forth

to that place

from this one

knows me

but not me alone.

All of us who’ve driven its curves

its flats

its scarred ridges and ruts

have a relationship with each unmistakable section

a familiar friend

a lover of sorts

always advancing

yet disappearing behind

creating a ribbon of ghosts

and calling us home.

Inspiring Message of the Day: Life inspires poetry. We must live it fully and write our own existence with beauty and attention to detail. Every minute counts.
