Underway

Nothing quite calms me like

The mountains
And the sea
Beneath azure skies
Underway

Destination of no concern

Nary a Care

A rocky beach
A cloud strewn sky
A becalmed sea
And the last
Glimmering
Rays
Of a sun
Leaving the day

And I
Reflecting
Alone
In my thoughts
With nary
A care
But for the beauty
Of it all

I like to cross bridges
Thinking of the dreams
To be fulfilled
On the other side

Sometimes, while crossing
I remember
There are dreams to be fulfilled
On both sides

I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets

Sometimes
It is not the water
Which troubles me
But the bridge

Held fast
In anticipation
Of departure
Imminent

Not clinging
Preparing
To leap

It is a simple pier
On a rocky beach
The large stones worn smooth
By the rhythm of tides
And uncountable waves

Not a beach
For laying out towels
Basking in the sun
Building castles

In daylight
Pretty enough
As I drive by
