It is not down in any map; true places never are.
~Herman Melville~
An Isle Without Footprints
There is a land, untouched by man, across a velvet sea
This isle sleeps under the sky, in blue tranquility
An eden of the ocean, and as yet unexplored
A tiny chunk of heaven, where only birds have soared
This emerald isle's waiting, for two hearts that are one
Like lovers who were preordained,before time had begun
An island without footprints, primevil and pristine
Sweeter than a baby's kiss, on a breeze serene
Come with me Beloved, to this isle of love
This paradise of wonder, that only dreams speak of
There's no charts for this journey, except within my heart
A will of our desire, will make this voyage start
See the isle before us? The wonder of it all
First sight is an amazement, but souls have true recall
A land of such enchantment, a coral sky above
A splendor of creation, for us to take hold of
Emerald grass at our feet, coral sun in the skies
Jungles thick and verdant, clouds a pearly dye
White sands sparkle diamonds, treasures in the dunes
Beautiful oasis, criss crossed by lagoons
Touch the land so fertile, black as ebony
Branches bent from weight of fruit, an offering for free
Breezes sweetly perfumed, by flowers grown to heights
All our senses overwhelmed by tropical delights
This is home Beloved, our isle in the sea
Where we can live our life of love in sweet tranquility
Let us ride an arc of love to this unblemished shore
Committed to each other, and never want for more
