Microfiction Monday # 56

Young feet walk the path;
life and lane stretch out ahead.
To where will they lead?

The final destinations
remain in the arms of Time.






My Tanka today is in response to this delightful photo prompt at Stony River.

  3. I love the contemplative mood of this, perfect for the peacefulness of the scene.

    Btw, I got here by going to your home page first. Anthony is right, the links aren't working. Hope you figure it out. :)

  13. Very evocative MM. Makes us realize that no-one can predict our future...only Time will tell what happens.
    Have a great week. Cheers.
