I turn back once more And am mesmerised by what I see The evening hues cloaking the earth And dressing the beautiful sea A tinge only a tinge Whispers on the shore But the brilliance of snow white waves Adds a beauty I can't ignore I stop and rest awhile And drink it all in My gaze stretching for miles It's such an intoxicating thing The remnants of rain filled clouds Embellish the islands north The mystical lands beyond And the beauty of their worth A lone surfer eases himself Onto his last wave As my photographic memory Captures all I need to save..........
Exceptional Nu....stay on the shore and exhibit/document the beauty from a safe distance. Would not want any more scares. Give your spouse my best you lucky devil, lol.

Wonderful just a wonderful poem, sorry but (and am mesmerised by what i SAW) that kept jumping out at me everytime i read it, see and saw??
I love the poems you write describing the beauty of where you live. It must be almost like Paradise but unfortunately there is always a serpent lurking somewhere. Thanks for sharing your island's beauty.

Hi Red ........thanks for your lovely thoughts .........I figure it is still in the present tense as I am in the act of doing it and the second and fourth lines rhyme as is my structure for this poem .........Thanks for your thoughts ...regards NU
Ha ha you sound like my wife she is always worried about serpents ........all good ........Australia is an amazing place with such a diverse topography and is so easy to get caught up in the beauty of the place , in saying that I am sure there are so many places around the world that still captivate the writers vision ........Thanks for your lovely thoughts ..........Warm regards .....NU
