A very nice haiku, evocative of the spirit of the wild, wild west. Hauntingly lovely. A Happy Easter to you and yours.

Somehow cigarette adverts come to mind. But it is everyone's journey. A great image, Kai

Yeah...the adverts made it powerful...in the end...it's tumbling weeds of thoughts and a journey to nowhere...it's not on the map....

Tumbling weeds of thoughts rolling through a deserted mind...fading in memory...as the hourglass topples from the raging winds of life...this cowboy rides...Thanks Juliet

I see it too...Only goes to show you the things that impress the mind...The Marlboro Man with a cigarette in his hand
