The journey

Looking back
into the distance
glimpsing in the wake
the detritus of the ocean.
Imagining in the turmoil
the depths only hinted at
in the churning froth.
Every journey
is filled with discovery -
treasure yet to be uncovered.
lying in wait
for the one who takes the time
to dredge beneath the surface.
to sift the visible
and unearth what is hidden.
The wise leave early
allowing time
to savour the journey
arriving better prepared
at their destination.
But even those of us
who are by nature
last minute voyeurs
are still afforded brief insights
that linger long after
journeys end.
