Coming to Jamaica

Coming to Jamaica
That land of magnetic Aura 
Gold and green embedded in my being 
Energy shifts into a butterfly dream. 
 
I hear you calling my name. 
I am home once again. 
Back to where I belong 
Negril boardwalk on the white sand. 
 
From the mountains to the sea 
Its deeper presence dwells within me 
And flows into an infinite stream 
To the warmth and radiance of my being. 
 
Coming to Jamaica  
The land of nature and nostalgia 
Where the rhythm of music hums 
And scatters the rhyme like African drums. 
 
Columbus saw it on Discovery Bay 
And brought into mind a beautiful display 
Of the indomitable emancipation 
That lives free in every Jamaican
