The Road To the Sea

The night’s crystal silence
commencing from the cliffs
Crisp, cool, calm surrounds
the cloudless climbing moon.

My back to descending darkness
Faint light dares the distance
Driving through a dressed milieu;
dewdrops pave the way.

Canvas etched in endlessness
extending before my eyes.
Exquisite escalating sun
encouraging an epic… end.

Flying past the fleeing wheels:
fawn colours of the fields.
Feathered rays are filtering
through fading hours of fear.

Goldencrusted mountains guard
the ground for travelling guests.
As ‘guilty journey back to grace;
God’s hand, itself, the Guide.
