driving the open road
sparse vegetation dotting the landscape
mountains in the distance
turning around a corner
what lies beyond
hidden from view
until the journey
becomes the destination

If you enjoyed this poem, please consider ordering a copy of my poetry collection, “Oceans of Unknown,” which focuses on the many twists and turns of the journey of life. It is a collection containing three chapbooks of poems, each containing a unique perspective on the various aspects of life and each person’s unique journey.
“Oceans of Unknown” includes three previously published chapbooks, “Relentless Force,” “Looking Outside the Window,” and “Faith & Doubt” into a single, cohesive full-length collection of poems, while retaining distinctions for each book. “Oceans of Unknown” includes a new introduction to all three works as well as an index for quick access for quick reference to the location of a favorite.

Its lovely. i am not a “poem person” but loved this one….
Nice! Thanks
Wonderful, just wonderful. I could really go for a long drive now!
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Wonderful, Jason! I absolutely love that idea that the journey, is, in fact, the destination. We’re always trying to get somewhere else. But here is so beautiful if only we look in the right places. x
Thanks Brooke! It’s been my recent mantra. Sometimes I get caught up in the destination and miss the journey I am on 🙂
Amazing! Keep pulling yourself back to smell every single flower. ☺️🌸
Will do! You too!
Jason, your poem and photo remind me of driving through extreme northeastern Colorado on my way to the Denver area. The landscape’s contrast was evident with the view along the highway with the majestic peaks to the west.
Thanks! I love those contrasting images
