There are places
On this Earth
Which taught me
Expect the unexpected
On this Earth
Which taught me
Expect the unexpected
And still
They surprise me
And still
They surprise me
The road
From where I love
To where I love
Passes through
A world I love
And yet…
Above the boughs
Perched on rocky cliff
Perturbed sea
Sullen clouds
Mountains from sea through sky
So when it does
I shout out
To the atmospheric mayhem
I think of you
The final throes of our daylight
Hoping you’ll return
From the long, dark night
With the promise
Of a new sun
Rising
