On Distance

I run
the two miles
to the lighthouse

white and peeled

against the swirled

grey sky 

hovering above the

grey sea churning

I run, sure footed
across the sand

seaweed smell 

and stones smooth

for me to stride over 

past the man

in his heavy coat

and dog, wet

I move fast,

light, like the seagull feather

tumbling on the sand

I chase

the lighthouse crawls closer

the north sea
endless and grey
I run

St. Mary's Lighthouse in far left distance. North Sea.

I am participating in Five Minute Fridays, hosted by Gypsy Mama. This was fun, thanks for the prompt!
