Holidays and Human Nature

A cataract's fantastic flight
   From precipice, the Angel Falls
   Cascades cold waters into cauldron's clouds.
   Sky divers flying from this fearsome height
   Free fall  above the cheering crowds.
   And climbers clinging, scale sheer walls
   A breathless death defying sight.

   As sun sets down  then twilight fades
   Nightfall parades her star spangled dress,
   Moonlights dark shadow cloaks her smiling face,
   She slowly schemes and masquerades.
   Our wildest dreams, evenings embrace,
   We look for love, within her sweet caress.
   When finally to us,she serenades

    A desert island reigns as queen
   Her crown a lustrous coral reef,
   Washed in warm waters,crystalline
   Ferns fronds,her robes of emerald green
   Our place of solitude, simply divine,
   Where palm trees shade, brings sweet relief.
   Those lazy days were so serene.

   Volcanoes molten magmas flow
   On land where fire and ice delights.
   Great Geysir's steaming waters rise,
   Where ancient sagas spoke of hell below.
   Spectacular, across those evening skies
   Aurora's coloured Northern Lights
   We watched in awe, her magic lantern show.
