Distance

My 1st Wildlands one-shot is published! Check Out Mystery of Thorngage Manor

Weave your string in and out, go between the threads
The strands you leave behind, show up again out ahead
Distance winds up and around, across the bedspread
Keep the needle moving, under and then overhead
Look close, the journey doesn't always start at the trailhead
Fix that stitch, get back on the path, don't be misled.
