Gordon's Bay Harbour

I am a cruiser
on a big trawler.

A lover
of the water.
Look at it's blue color.

What's underneath is a puzzler.

Being a traveler
who looks for spectacular 
pictures. I always discover
that God is the manufacturer 
and complier
of beauty for this true believer.

No matter
what harbour 
we pull in to. 

Here
the mountains
have a fascinating 
allure
as they are behind the harbour
this adds a certain 
wonder
and magnificent charm to the terrain.

This place isn't plain.
I was so excited there's 
a promenade. We will be walking,
talking, 
and sitting 
on the bench enjoying 
the sights and sounds
of this new harbour.

They say in the brochure
there's coffee bars,
fish shops, and restaurants 
to entertain 
which makes this harbour
really popular.

Here I would of remained 
if we had been able to retain
our health. As it is this harbour
will be ingrained 
in my brain
from a water color
that I found
in a beautiful frame.
