To Whom or What or Where
It’s been low tide
for a while.
The beach is parched;
seagulls searching for
salvation from starvation
have all moved on.
The sky looks vast
from this endlessness,
immeasurably clear.
I cast my questions out to sea
and marvel at the whole
lonely Milky Way
from here.

I love standing on the beach looking out to sea, or standing on top of a hill and surveying as far as the eye can see. I am left in awe, feeling almost insignificant and small but then I remember it is just moments like this that provide the inspiration for much writing 🙂 🙂
Indeed. It never ceases to amaze me, the feelings that swell up when looking out across vast distances. Thanks for reading!
