The Rowboat
~~*~~


I looked and I see
A Rowboat Beached a few feet
From the beautiful aqua
Blue lagoon
Her soft ripples gently caress the shore.

It’s oars are resting on the sand
leaning against the boat
No one in sight
Yet one respects the fact
That the owners are nearby.

The cove is adorned
With coconut palm trees
Beautiful tropical flowers
Decorate evergreen hedges
Surrounding the area.

A distance away
You can hear
Soft tropical music
Where the gentle breeze
Carries the lovely melodies
To appreciative ears.

Making all this seem
Like a dream
Across the bay I see
Tropical green mountainous
Islands.

Protruding from the ocean
Gracefully reaching towards
The heavenly clear blue sky
A few cotton fluffy clouds
Easily sail on by.

I turn the page
Place
The magazine down
by my side.
Just to stare at an empty
Old city lot.

The mind is a very interesting avenue for travel. The Creator gave us a huge wealth of destinations and a great mode to get there. Your pen reminds me of this wonderous gift.

|In the jungle we hadn't too many empty lots to stare at, but just the same, a lonely stalker need to be from that special breed of man that waiting an infite of time don't seems to be so long to wait.
Then, bang!!!, the sucker's down...now I can go home.

Well william it sounds like you must have
spent a lot of time stake outs
Sounds very exhausting and lonely
Beautifully written and expressed!
Peace Love and hugssss....Morning Star

What a sad ending to a heavenly poem, my friend. After reading your poem, and wanting to find such a warm heavenly paradise myself, I look out my window this morning, at 12 inches of new snow. I best reach for my snow shovel, and not my sun tan lotion.

What power words and pictures contain. Your words brought me to that ocean shore, while I type away in my mystic room, dreaming of an encour!
