The Lotus Eaters  part 1 of 2 pages

Northern unkind gales forced, with no care to man or nature
The cunning, the brave, the great king Odysseus and his crew to draw off course
From Ithica, their home and one true destination 
A strange land happened upon them by fate and chance 
Appeared from nowhere, but did enchant them one and all
We’ve come to learn this is the Isle Lotophagi.
Glorious scented lotus fields rolled up, waving against moving vast hills
Winds gave them life over flowing there 
With majestic summer’s heated wilds   Holding the world intact
Boulders lined up as giants against the ancient unencumbered breathing skies
Virgins in yellow and pink silk, filled in the silence of morn with vigilance
While gathering sweet cold water in fragile jugs along the foreign stream
Within the golden landscape scene the lotus eaters lived
In tender innocence, no cares in the world, or of their fate awaiting
Hectic red steadfast on earth this day as sun rose stronger than venues of time
But not too late
To mold the landscape, shape it in its style, in brightness that takes the sight of man to shelter
The cunning Odysseus, and his men are hungry, tired, worn of war and lust for water from that shore
Before they sail to Ithica with furor to their missions end 
Determined one and all
They must rest, take in splendors of this world and learn their love and lore
The king and sailors did much more.  The lotus eaters, as they’re called      
                       (see page 2 next posting)
