Scapes

George Nurse 1966 (Georgetown)

I lay on my back on the grass in the park
And watched a cloud as it slowly passed
I wondered where it’s been....,
going....,
and why...?
Who am I among such marvels on this old eternal earth?
Rising fog, falling tide, setting sun
Why is life so wrong when everything else seem so right
Will it all be gone when memory start to fade
Will the shadows in my life ever clear
Will a fair smile release this heavy heart and set it in motion again
It’s just surreal that every thought, every turn, every curve, every corner
Lead me right back to you
And start over again.

George Nurse

I was born on the continent of South America. Guyana, bordered to the west by Venezuela, to the east Suriname and to the south Brazil and to the north the Atlantic Ocean. As a child sitting in my back yard at the top of the stairs looking past the trees watching ships go by or at the seawall sitting on boulders looking out at the waves my personal world was alive my fantasies was real and my adventures DARING! I am a veteran of the US Armed Services - Navy and Army. more…
