Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Isle of Fantasy - Seashore Bliss

Isle of Fantasy - Seashore Bliss


Rolling waves that reach the shore
with frothy crests of sparkling white,
embrace the waiting beach
to kiss and bathe its wavy frame
of glistening, light golden sand
that hugs the ocean's end
along this isle of fantasy.

The roar of waves and seagull songs-
cool sea breeze touch of misty spray;
the sky above of azure blue-
white cotton candy streaked. 
The endless line, where sea meets sky,
that sets imagination's stage
to dream what lies away, beyond-
this picture-perfect fantasy.

Held spellbound by this seashore bliss
where hearts and souls feel holy, blessed,
reborn by its baptismal rite,
immersed in earthen purity;
the seashore is sweet nature's gift-
a glimpse of heaven here on earth.
along this isle of fantasy.
