Photograph by David Rudder. The subtle shades of early morning at St. Georges Basin, NSW, Australia.

We ease into each other’s shoes.
And need to find out the difference.
The shades of subtlety in the sands
Being the essence of our presence

We blend into our surroundings.
And filter through the trees and sea
A thread of sunshine seeking solace
Hand in hand, we peep to see

Each captured a magic moment.
The nuances and changes rarely seen
Arm in arm, we walk on air
Our senses absorb the scene

Blown by the soft sea breeze
Airborne, we drift along the way
The route that our love takes us
This leads us to another day

Unspoken words personify
Our subtle way of understanding
What we know and what we want
Glide to an easy landing

Acquiescence bonds our hearts and minds
As we travel down life’s open highways
Through forest glades, shades, and light
Meandering off on obscure byways
