Journey

Cold waves mark out the empty expanse of night sky -
thunderous vibrations
sharp, hard blasts of wind and rain
against this, a steady heart and steady hand.

***

The waves rumble onward -
the sound of a thousand mighty horses
waterous hills and valleys
in endless, searching thirst.

***

Home to the ancient heroes of old -
the Spear-Danes in days gone by
by warmth of a hearth stone
by an old seaway.

***

To live a life of endless journey,
the fate of those whose hearts were as big as the world.
