Journey always homeward
Strengthened with each sunrise
Leaving embers of darkness
Visions of tomorrow’s prize
Faithful compass leads on
Surrounded without light
Rising to face each challenge
Perseverance maintains flight
Soul’s courage reaches out
Destined to discover
Marching to harmony’s joy
Another hour uncovers
Tranquility’s campsite
Filled with memories past
Inviting blessed night’s rest
Single dream forever lasts
Shifting seasons frame change
Visions color each page
Windmill’s faithful turning
Always prepared to engage
Stirring with day’s sunrise
One more painting to view
Autumn’s awakening
Colors ink nature’s tattoos
Circling within each hour
Landscape reveals fresh start
Winter’s white fills sketches
Snow-covered quilt warming hearts
Waiting with eagerness
Tender green sprouts share love
Spring’s quenching refreshment
Precious gifts rain from above
Enjoying lazy days
Filled with endless sunshine
Summer’s relaxation
Flowers color each headline
Sharing seasons’ rhythm
Time to exchange baton
Windmill’s faithful turning
Pleasantly awake at dawn
