The Adventure Part One! Read This First

Greatest Treasure I want to write it all Down For you To live this life and Live it through and though I want to swim In the Black Sea Salt soaked Never even close To sinking I want to grasp each moment Like A pineapple where I am Ripping away at the flesh And letting its juces drip down My Face I want to float Along The amazons Without a compass I’ ll use the sun as my guide The alligators yawn good morning And I will Ponder AM I THEIR BREAKFAST? I Hear a rustling among the tri-layered forest The Monkeys playing their silly games peer down upon me And Keep me company. I t is h ere whe re I fe el shel tered by their Haven I want to grasp at the wheel of a s hip To feel the groaning Of the Solid boat beneath me I want to get lost Only to be found By You I want a homecoming Banners raised high While My sails fly The sea has a will of its and I am its mistress Getting carried away I want to walk through African S a v a n n a h s Where the grass is so long I get lost A s I dip into Watering holes I want to bask in the African sun Walking alongside the giraffes Silently Elegant I peer in wonder And Speaking softly to Elephants Who raise their Mighty ears To Respond With trumpeting laughter ~~~~ to be continued
