I went walking on the boardwalk that runs along the shoreline of Halifax always special on a warm summer's evening...

Harbourfront  Stroll

By: Felix L. Perry

 

 

Summer walk on our waterfront

Light breeze from the sea

Walking past the musicians

Who’ll play a song for free

If I throw a quarter in the case

They’ll play one just for me 

 

Small café along the water

Beer drips beads of sweat

A schooner sailing close by

Seashells hung in overhead net

A fog horn blows a hello

A haunting sound you’ll not forget

 

 

Lovers walk by holding hands

Children playing on a pirate ship

A cruise liner filled with travellers

Sailors gives her lines the slip

Babies yawning in their strollers

graying grandparents on a trip

 

 

A ferry ride across the harbour

Gentle waves lap comforting

The rise and fall of the waves

Seem so very, very relaxing

Moon is winking down on us

The stars on the water reflecting

 

 This is my Halifax waterfront

It’s the place where lover’s go

Described in song and book

It’s alive with that ebb and flow

Someday I hope you’ll all come

This place is a never ending show…

Long time since I walked on Halifax NS. Ca. but if I remember well it was by late Fall with wind and gray everything, although, the people was warm, friendly and the 21 years old Salute from Chivas Regal firmly anchored your soul back into your body!
