the coastal terrain whizzes
by in my effort to catch up
to claim time as my ally
drift wood laden shores
with rocky strewn beaches
such alien distant creatures
my car picks up speed on
straightaways, slowing down
on curves the car sways
when will i reach destination
unknown a room with a key
time once again has flown
walking on the sandy beach
salt spray, shells and stone
i no longer feel alone
my thoughts weave about the
elusive tide of time’s door
plying soul and spirit’s core
reaching inside to pull my
heart throughout times’ eternity
journey’s calm is wrought
as though the sea winds have
wrapped me within their embrace
helping me again to face
a world where the essence of
time flies capturing unnoticed
years unfurling tinctured rhyme
