Inspire

Inspire by Weston Gregory 

When the sun comes from the east 
Shining its beauty through the 
leaves,
I'm so inspired by what I  see.
Its way though not easy to say
I sigh when the rare jasmine bloom.
I smile at the  monarch butterfly 
choreograph loops,
and laugh in this lazy afternoon

I all but spy its spectrum hue
and am left mesmerize by its hovering 
on the west bound horizon too,
Jamaica is haunted by a spectre of 
gloom,
on its fading from sight on Negril west end 
soon

As if wishing on a dream 
Within the swirl of unsynchronized scenes 
our nature predicts tomorrow 
Whether serendipitous or nightmarish
horror.
Response well to a global hallow 
a prayer;
Goodnight my blossom see you in the morning,
When the sun comes from the east
Shining its beauty through leaves.....

It makes me want to return to the islands. I always feel refreshed, inspired, and rejuvenated. This poem is a reminder that beauty exists outside our own small worlds and is a fabulous tribute to your island. :)

One can picture oneself in the Caribbean under the sun as it rises in the east and travels westward to Negril. Lovely verse.
