i'd like to follow one someday....
Tumbleweed
Where does it come from
this rootless traveller
The tumbleweed
Where is it going
this nomadic adventurer
The tumblewood
Follow its route
and you will get lost
The tumbleweed
It has no map
just simply follows the wind
The tumbleweed
How fast or slow by force
of wind and gravity
The tumbleweed
Sometimes it stops
as if to take a rest
..........................
But not too long
before it starts again
The tumbleweed
Along its journey
to who knows where
The tumbleweed
If I follow it, will I find you there?
The tumbleweed
bound for who know where...

Fascinating, delightful, beautifully expressed! I love how you led us along almost as if with it. I recall them vaguely from my years on the Colorado prairies; seems usually they tumbled in a fenced pasture and clogged up in a heap pressed against the fence as if vainly endeavouring to escape to....where?

I loved this little travel with the tumbleweed, excellent. They are truly mysterious.

An epic voyage and immortalised in poetry too! Go, let's attach a camera and transponder within a tumbleweed and follow it to wherever it goes to! That will leave only one question, how are they born?

The very essence of this travelling wonder is captured here Sonya - - a rolling restless feel to the read of this tumble-weed verse.

The plant that rolls across the desert sand, that rarely sets it's roots, yet never dies - a wonderful poem Sonya, that captures the unfixed essence of a wandering life. :) kath xxxx

I like your setup. And I never could have guessed the ending - so satisfying.
