Thoughts Drift Across the Sea

Tynemouth Castle and Priory Ruins on the North Sea, England

Ink touches down to the page
Bringing these thoughts around again
Jettisoning me out of this place
And using up this fine pen

Oft my thoughts drift across the sea
To rolling green hills and barren mounts
Dramatic cliffs, bluebells, and ruins
And more train lines than one can count

Mix ancient history with muted hues
And culture bright with stories and lore
Such age, deep tradition, keeps my attention
These intrigues leave me wanting more
