Today I walked between

Sandgate And Hythe

In temperatures approaching

Eighty-two degrees

It was a walk of great beauty

With the sea glimmering

Erratically to my left

Before retiring into a soft dull haze

The light was so incredibly intense

That the beach users

Were reduced to declining shadows

Fading into the heat of the afternoon

I felt a great happiness

Deeply during these flowing hours

As I was able to see everything quite clearly

Through God’s wonderful eyes
