Fourth Place

I dream of journeys to contemplate of driving alone on a lined snow-laden road with no destination of gliding through the wilderness on a train its whistle a haunting sound over bridges with deep water moving beneath and boreal trees all around of flying in a diminutive airplane over the ocean with no land to observe lost in the blue listening to every creaking sound of floating in a sailboat across the sea seeking my true north in tranquility

So beautiful and thought-provoking. What is humanity without dreams of its own definition of freedom? Loved the imagery of this piece, and the longing that tugged at my heartstrings.
