- My Paradise -

I'm borrowing a gorgeous country I may borrow it as often as I can I accept their courtesy and smile I smile back and are happy to provide a helping hand I am enjoying the sun in this sunny land I think of autumn and the rain back home I'm enjoying the day with all my enjoyment I hope the day could've been much longer I am delighted with the floral scent that fills the air I listen to the waves rolling along the seaside I listen to the prayer that comes from the mosque I feel a quiet peace lowered into my body I'm borrowing this beautiful country, just for fourteen days I am free of thoughts, free from time ..... I'm in my paradise Turkey Turkey - 20.09.2012 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
