On holidays in the back of beyond
Escaping the city, of which I am fond.
Trips to the beach in the wind & the wet
Braving the weather, how bad can it get?
Breathtaking views as the clouds part
The sun shining through warms my heart.
Strong wind in the waves creates a fine surf
Sheep on the hillsides graze in the turf.
Picnic lunches by the sea
Sandwiches & cups of tea.
Driving along the mountainside
Narrow winding roads, enjoying the ride.
Blooming hedgerows, patchwork fields
All the colours nature wields.
Swallows swooping, the joy of flight
Sleeping soundly each & every night.
En route home, lost in reflection
This break has given me new direction.
Time & tide wait for no man
So live the dream as best I can.
