Island of My Dreams

There is a special island that's known to none but me I can really only go there in my deepest sleep you see Trade winds do softly blow soft upon my cheek And my heart finds the quiet places that I seek There is the sound of water falling from a fount And the flowers are just to numerous to count The ocean softly beats a rhythm on the shore And the birds sing their songs just beyond my door I know I visit this healing place only in my mind Yet here I come to rest and heal the wounds I find I could not really tell you the direction or the way But if you find your island, you will surely want to stay

Terrific collection of couplets here Barbara! That island in my mind is much more easier to get to and less expensive than those out there in the sea. ;-) Nice job! I like it alot. Joe
