Stilted Steps

Across this tranquil ocean
a wooden slatted walk way
stretching to the horizon
just above the surface

enticing me to roam
over these vast clear waters
though so rickety and old
I need to follow my heart

so with each tentative step
I move forward slowly
feeling the sun on my face
under this bright blue sky.!

each of these planks of wood
creaking under my feet
moaning as I walk on by
as I make my way slowly

across this beautiful bay
waters undulating beneath!
as I continue to walk
marine life swims close by

no idea what I will find
what mysteries lie before me?
to walk across this peaceful bay
amongst ocean tranquillity
