I sit in air condition
In a not too comfortable seat
I guess, so one won’t
Fall asleep.

A grand view I see
Drawing my attention
To the beauty
Of soft cottony clouds
Against
A clear pale blue sky.

Gulls adorn the heavens
As they silently soar
Palm trees
Bent out of shape
By weather and age
Their huge leaves
Softly sway
Wind gently blows.

The ocean is calm
Just rippling surfs
Mystically
embracing the shores

A derelict row boat
Rotting
With time and neglect
Lies idle between
Dunes of sand.

A small pier near by
Eroded
From lack of use.

All is towered by
A white wash
Gigantic light house
looming straight into the sky
The keeper’s dwelling
By it’s side.

The only thing I had to read
While in this waiting room
was that lovely
Painting
I just narrated to you

Oh! How beautiful this is!

Your descriptive depiction lured me right in William...glad you had something to feast your eyes upon. Ahhh "The View" gives the reader such a magnificent sense of peace...smelling the air, taking in the sights~colorful imageries shared.

Think I will go there in my mind (into the painting that is)~refreshing.
Take care and enjoy,
((( SEMPER FI )))

Nicely done.
Takes me back to school when as a wee kid I'dd look out at the building cumulus, and imagine castles, princesses to be rescued, then -OUCH- as a red stick hit me...TURNER YOU'RE OFF WITH THE FAIRIES AGAIN. come back to earth, no swimming for you this week lad....

Wow I love such calm inspirational view of thoughts
I always view beauty through my mind
For my hometown is the desert
But it possesses its own beautiful view!
Your words captured and painted a stunning view!
Love Peace and hugsssss to you William

A marvellous way of describing, transporting the reader there, smelling the salt and hearing soft waves licking the reef round stones, and nearly seeing the light house keeper watching the horizon.
That it was only a picture doesn't broke the moment's charm.
Really very very good.

Your 'reading' is beautiful. Sometimes we need to read the beauty around us instead of the stuff between two glossy covers.
