I stepped onto the boardwalk.
It stretched out before me,
Almost straight as a die…
And disappeared out of view.
It seemed confined and limitèd,
In such a huge, impersonal,
Yet beautiful landscape ,
It crossed my mind,
That it resembled
A metaphor of my life,
Without the twists and turns,
That characterise my soul’s journey,
To date,
I set out, undaunted,
To discover
Where it would lead me.
