It's Still Life

dVerse Quadrille #48

On the Cobbles

My sights are set
on steep roads,
sun-baked and wheel-
worn cobbled ways.
I am aimless through
high forests of mist,
undercover of desert-
spawning sky, broad
and wandered by
reluctant heroes.
I’ve no fear chasing
the unknown; eventually,
I will always bounce back.

dVerse Quadrille #48 “bounce” (44 words). Photo is my own, taken in Bogotá Colombia.

Chasing the unknown and bouncing back is a hero’s journey.

You have to be able to bounce back. Love that photo!

  That was near Bolívar Plaza in Bogotá. It’s a very lively part of the city.

  I sure don’t bounce as high as used to, Dwight. 😀

I have always loved the word “cobble” in all of its uses. You’ve used it beautifully here.

I love this section:

“spawning sky, broad
and wandered by
reluctant heroes.
I’ve no fear chasing

  It’s a pity so many people are terrified of visiting Colombia. It’s one of the most beautiful countries I’ve had the pleasure to explore, and never once did I feel unsafe or threatened.

Loved that photo and the words that compliment it. Yes, do bounce back though the path you are on sounds adventurous
