To me
Than a road trip
Through unknown country
Nature’s patterns
Repeat
In scale
And context
A Martian landscape?
Or an Earthly detail?
I am not alone on this journey
Many seek the limitations of their world view
Quietly contemplating
Looking out
Into myself
There are few things more satisfying
Than sharing something new and beautiful
With family
To the rock, it seems just yesterday
It had been the sand
Gently rolling with the waves
As if you are there, at the dawn of life
Watching nature stir her organics
Casting upon them the spells
Which will make matter sentient
Sometimes it is difficult to know
A sunrise from a sunset
The coming of the light
From the gathering darkness
There is beauty in both
And what will come
Will come
So best to appreciate the moment
But… Oh! If I could choose
Choose anywhere in the world
It would be here, I’d live
In that dark house by the sea
