Nothingness

There's a place in West Texas simply called Notrees
It's as close to nothing as anybody sees
You can see a hundred miles just by standing there
You can go or you can stay - no one there to care

Bless my soul it's perfect for solitude and prayer

Thank you, Teddy. Love it when someone says "LOL" about something I write. I try to be serious about things I write, but something always wants to wander into the funny side.

A clear winner for the unexpected humor injected into the last line. Well done, Larry!
