Alex lays her head
with trust on Cody’s lap
He travels many miles
the wind is his roadmap
The radio off the windows down
Alex’s tail sways with peace
Anger melts like snow in spring
Crossing many borders and seas
The beaches
spread their arms
he feels welcome
when he rolls into town
the smell of freshly baked bread
the warm white sand
they are welcome
when he and Alex get into town
While mesmerising by the sunset
in the harbour at the docks
Cody finds a set of new keys
to open his rusty old locks
He is embraced by this town
he has reached his goal
the horizon gives him a smile
again, he feels whole
