Harbour of Atlantis

The orange sky
In this Atlante-an world
A sight to see
Much better than words

Breakwater so crafted
As it holds back the sea
In this harbour of Atlantis
All sailors should see

Ships so elegant
Never seen before
As they sail the waves
So far from offshore

A design so unique
Craftsmanship so pure
Crews in tandem
I've seen nothing truer

Fishermen unloading
This mornings catches
They catch what they need
As Utopia attaches

As we slowly climb
These harbour steps
The view of this city
Immaculate

White marbled buildings
Of construction bliss
Pavemented roads
In a world like this

The charm and delight
As we wander around
Street markets and sellers
Contentment in sound

We sit on some steps
My crew and i
As we marvel the views
Of the Atlante-an skies

This Harbour of Atlantis
And it's Azorean race
Makes this Utopian world
A place to embrace
