From the stony fields with lavender rising
White butterflies alight atop each bouquet
While speckled ladybugs frolic to aroma's flower
Shantelle's hideaway spreads before the gaze
Within her name blooms a friendly stillness
Envisaged within the heathered rocks strewn
To peruse upon such stunning tranquility
And conjure placid songs it issues within
Her gilded aurelian, flaxen curls course
To frame her blanched, ceramic fairness
The grace of limb and carriage pose and amble
As the cottony swaying of its gentle grasses
Our desired perfection seeking sequence in her image
Eternally bequeath love, joy and gratitude
For Inevitable kindness lights this humble path
To the gate of paradigm that leads to Shantelle's hideaway
