A trip to the Island



In great anticipation face pressed against the glass, should this section of the ferry stop I'd pay for first class.

It must have been an article or I saw it in a post, goodness words can't explain what's on the horizon of that coast.

Majestic falls cascading down the hillside, cherry blossom flowers along the way spreading far and wide.

Priceless I tell you such scenery changes a mood, I could stand in owe all day,who's hungry forget about food.

A thick Forrest of trees, the cool air formed a mist, glancing from side to side I can't seem to get enough of this.

Such detailed form and design for a minute I thought of the moon, God you sure made a statement here, oh wait! look at that Lagoon.

A chirpy bird flew over head leaving behind a gentle breeze, ruffling the leaves as it went dipping low as if to tease.

Saw it from a distance a body of  blue yes it stood out, now there goes the lake everyone's been talking about.

Sipping on my Jelly enjoying this trip started to smile as if something was funny, felt a nudge, then heard,Wake Up honey!
