Picturesque
Protected am I inside a canopy of luscious green leaves
Hand resting on a vine hanging beside me
The bench of a log I sit on holds me above the bright blue waters
Where I dip my feet and enjoy the swishing wet between my toes
In the distance an island awaits for me to swim across
There I gather plentiful things that greatly satisfy
Here it is never cold nor is it steaming hot
A gracious wind always blowing gently caressing the skin
Still longingly I gaze for a newcomer to pass through
For in this perfect paradise being alone will sadden the heart
All these beautiful things to share with no one there hard to endure
I will be patient for when they arrive they are sure to stay
We will dance on the waters singing sweet melodies
Forever caught in visual bliss honored to inhabit such a vivid space
