Feeling inspired to be
Crunching across the moor,
Beams streaking the blue span sky
Reaching out over the sea
Amid hazy peninsulas,
Fading into dusk
Marshmallow coloured landscape
Gentle stillness.
Animals growl aware of fast-approaching night
The air is breathable but warm,
Red-brown hues tread softly across briars
Dark tarmac by contrast never shines
Except when shimmering in blazing heat.
Landscape though is ever changing
Altered yet never exactly restored by time,
Shifting back to the present
Free to wander with my mind:
Under the tranquil twilight of autumnal shades.
