The Bay

an experience of everyday life

Small craft dozed in the sunshine
 
Cars zoomed on the road.
 
I walked......they drove
 
Peace engulfed me
 
Anxiety beset them
 
Destination beckoned me
 
Terminus eluded them
 
The trees swayed
 
The birds flew
 
The clouds moved
 
Lightning flashed
 
Small craft woke
 
I wended my way
 
Along the sparkling bay
 
These lines were inspired by an experience at Rose Bay, NSW.
