Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

Vanishing Point

As I walk along the soft velvet sand,
I find a pretty seashell wearing a big red band.
The calm blue shades of the light blue sea,
goes on and on as far as I can see.
I could not stay,
I just needed to run away.
Being called by the bright blue seas,
to see what I could see.
The old ship was way too small,
her mast was very tall.
Not knowing where this voyage would take me.
I felt free like a flying yellow bumble bee.
The sun's blanket kept me warm by day,  
by night I saw big clouds of gray.
Will I ever return back home,
from this vanishing point I will roam.
