The Road and the Sea
I know this road by heart
A beat of life
Undulating along the sea
Like the river
One day the light fell differently
All the small stones shone
Each a wonder in itself
Like the stars
In a sea of possibility
I picked up one with fool’s gold
Glimmering
Like the waves
More than halfway on my walk
The silver treasures of the road
The golden glimmer of the sea
Like me
