OctPoWriMo Day 22 prompt: A picture paints a thousand poems

Today's prompt is about creating a poem inspired by a photograph. Of the photos offered for inspiration, I chose this one by Ben Heine: 

I am insanely curious about roads to nowhere, whether it's a trail leading deeper into a dark forest or a road that disappears over the horizon. There's always the implied promise of something better, I guess; and although experience has taught me otherwise I'm still a sucker.

Wanderlust

Lonely roads invite

wandering feet.

Enchanted

by promises

of adventure,

the unknown,

eternity.

Trees 

weary sentinels

or

sinister guardians

of paths limned

with fairy dust.

Horizons look

close, but

somehow

get further

away.

Different paths

lead to the same

places.

Lonely feet

travel

wandering

paths.

Journey without

end.
