There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched, to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot, where incidental hue or august colour wash abound, or that March bloom tantalising shady patch, with its dreamlike mystic wide-flung allure, some blue pigment dawn whisper tempting spur on, that hidden orange-red sunlit prompt I can’t curb, I follow blindly without oppugning brier cloak pitfalls, yet noonday mishap neither blight nor wanton cross, as other fellow venturers might script a manifold offshoot, but from sound and slant sentient aspect, I can awaken fond galvanic episodes, of uproarious elation emanating from a golden grained beach, where energetic offspring unleash their zeal, adjacent to labyrinthine thriving townscapes, ancient river, the stuff of verse and bard, parallels its salted surging thunderous ripple, with its indigo bold rush beneath a stoic wharf. to capture lush spots with the pourboire of bright eye as timeless haven Yet late phase hours settings have cachet, in tandem with the peep of day burst, as I reveal a harvest swept ashore, flotilla at a dock and day boundary, so nocturnal bliss enraptured round each plinth, and plethora of svelte unearthly steps, where haunted hair-raising halos splash, adding lustrous night fly element, beside the raucous alleyway caper, inchoate, invisible, intriguing inlay, shards of boisterous daring impishness, cast at my intrepid moonlit atman, enigmatic echoes chase skinflint shadows, whoosh of splintered black ice sepulchral, under reckless swerving car manoeuvre, muddy slush speckled rim upshot, street lanterns wondrous wide arc madrigal, spoon wink and woo lambent opus, banisher of eerie eve ghost glow silence earth atmosphere shall watch bemused as moonlight orb peers at globe beneath
