Holidays and Human Nature

A cataract's fantastic flight From precipice, the Angel Falls Cascades cold waters into cauldron's clouds. Sky divers flying from this fearsome height Free fall above the cheering crowds. And climbers clinging, scale sheer walls A breathless death defying sight. As sun sets down then twilight fades Nightfall parades her star spangled dress, Moonlights dark shadow cloaks her smiling face, She slowly schemes and masquerades. Our wildest dreams, evenings embrace, We look for love, within her sweet caress. When finally to us,she serenades A desert island reigns as queen Her crown a lustrous coral reef, Washed in warm waters,crystalline Ferns fronds,her robes of emerald green Our place of solitude, simply divine, Where palm trees shade, brings sweet relief. Those lazy days were so serene. Volcanoes molten magmas flow On land where fire and ice delights. Great Geysir's steaming waters rise, Where ancient sagas spoke of hell below. Spectacular, across those evening skies Aurora's coloured Northern Lights We watched in awe, her magic lantern show.
