Paradise

Palm trees sway on a sandy beach All my troubles are now out of reach Rhythm of ocean, serene is its song A melody I could listen to all day long Deep are my thoughts, calm is my soul In sunshine's embrace I watch the waves roll So peaceful my spirit where waters run deep Enraptured by beauty, in dreams as I sleep --- 12/24/15
