Imagine This Picture

A new poem

Imagine This Picture (July 2013)

An old white van was driving through an unknown place

Some images appear in a haze �" we are not going anywhere

Stop at the tree covered lane

They are together waiting and waving to say all’s fine

Then we stop again and we’re in a car!

I wonder why we have never come so far

I think we got lost

Now it’s time to go home and see the light

Enjoy the sun and the brightness of the sea

Or the rain

In a place where giant trees line the muddy roads to peace

Where one almost never feels unwanted

Yes, shadows loom - but are carefully cast aside

Pastel sights and sweet images of smiles cover

The old white van which seems to have gone

It was just an image in a limpid mist

It’s really time to travel east
