My Shangri La

I need my space some time alone A tranquil place to call my own Escaping chaos all around For me no peace can ne’er be found A mythical Isle ~ Atlantis ~ is luring me beneath the sea ~ my Shangri La where soulmates are ~ Utopia ~ she beckons me Submerged in waters of azure blue Encompassed by my love for you I feel your presence it won’t be long I search for you all tensions gone I float into oblivion drifting wafting gliding through mesmeric sounds I’m close to you Our spiritual home ~ is meant to be ~~~~~~ the Isle of Atlantis beneath the Sea ~~~~~~ Written 3rd October 2020 Contest COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE 21 Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

One doesn't need Davey Jones to be lured to the depths of a peaceful sea! Aloha! Rico
