The Walk

Mile after mile we walk this long road The years disappear behind us We struggle to appease those who watch over us It's in vain my friend, in vain The course of life can he hard This tortuous route becomes our master Unseen hazards force our hand Valleys unfold and mountains beckon The green extends and fills my eyes Along the road to the sea The blues merge across the horizon Gulls they whirl around my head Sounds drift in with the ocean Tales from a distance arrive on the wing Seascapes full of wild emotions The colours combine to create a scene Surreal but inviting thoughts of the mind The sun is overhead with golden rays down A vision of beauty explodes from within Along the road to the sea Another mile passes, its gone with the dust Distance is covered without any concern Only life's obstacles disturb our route We follow, we lead and we learn Along the road of life As dawn approaches, fighting the black The sky rejoices with colourful praise All planetary sparkle is withdrawn from view Gone till after the next spell of red And so on and on we go.
