This Land

I wake in a vacuum, dark curtains across the windows and a box fan to drown out any sound - if there was any. Get up to find another sunny day, another light breeze rolling down from the mountains, the mornings are cooler now, and I drink it in. The government pretzels itself into a shut down and you wonder if they can really close the doors to parks or if you could sneak onto the white sand dunes under the full moon. Work beckons, and you do not care to hear it. 

Do they not know there are other things to be doing? Do they not know there are roads, and adventures, and full moons to be seen? Can they not feel the ocean waves beat in their heart? I run through the desert and see only stars, see only endless miles ahead. 

This is the time to gather your courage. This is the time to dare the leap. 

If not, how can you follow where I go?
