Frosted Skye

I’d started losing hope that I
Would ever see the Isle of Skye,
But here I am with views of sheep 
And mountains; rules do not apply.

The majesty will surely keep,
For this has conjured feelings deep
Of wonder that the world does hold 
So many treasures we can reap.

If every person could be polled,
I’d bet that most would not be sold
On travel as a way to heal
Whatever problems leave you cold.

The vistas here have such appeal
I’m thrilled I had the time to steal
To let me just unwind and feel 
To let me just unwind and feel.

I've heard of the Isle of Skye. I'm glad that you're having a good time. It sounds like you found a peaceful island away from the mad crowd. I enjoyed your thoughts.
