A brick path I stroll, flowers blooming in full I inhale and begin to ponder The sweet scent of lily, all laced like Chantilly Toward the horizon I begin to wonder I spy vivid hues, brilliant lavender and blues Many tones of orange and pinks The fire in the sky, no longer stands high Into the ocean the sun slowly s i n k s Light turns to dark, stars making their mark Fitful twinkles saying hello Seas of emerald green, lye silent and serene And the moon is rising s l o w The silhouette of the trees, gently dance with the seas The light of the silver moon glowing White sand ‘neath my feet, warmed from days heat Through my hair warm breeze blowing Afar, ship lights glisten, while I pause and listen Crickets sing to me a serenade So perfectly composed, waves lap at my toes As footprints behind me wash away The scents and the sounds, and beauty that astounds As I saunter through the night Visions etched deep within, towards my room I begin Where my dreams will take their flight And the Jamaican sun will again kiss the sky   < !signature--> ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 10-20-2000).] |

Irie, A beautiful composition, applauding you all the way. "The scents and the sounds, and beauty that astounds As I saunter through the night Visions etched deep within" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

I was looking for an inspiration - and the title intrigued - I found the inspiration - and the poem dazzled! (btw- if you're in Jamaica - I'm VERY jealous!!!) [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 10-18-2000).] |
