My Old Hometown

Open prairie skies call my soul out.
Route 66 stretches on, 
a long, thin ribbon of black.
I fill the tank, 
breathe the wind,
past the tall oil rig that stands.
Refreshed, I turn toward home's quiet heart.

liked 'home's quiet heart.' Remind me of my childhood home/town. Nicely done for the contest.
