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
