Blue sky
Green hills
Red flowers
Trade winds blow
Open windows 24 hours a day
~~~
rain drops splashing
on the ocean waves
Rain
so the Sky can
cry for me
~~~
End of the Road
end of the world
a hundred people wait
for the sun to set
One could hear a pin drop
were it not for the ocean's roar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAZATLAN
Mazatlan, dumb silly place
full of tourists, bad climate
How come you like it?
The beach that stretches round the earth
from east to westMy beach, our beach
and comes back with fireworks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HAPPY FEET The child went outdoors to play He smiled in delight when he saw the blue sky He jumped and he ran back and forth on the grass He crawled under the bushes and around and about Found butterflies, spiders and webs The backyard cats curtailed their visit But the bluebirds remained to ignore this wild young man who danced on the grass and laughed at the sun The child spied a red flower Went over to touch - when - Lo, a strange sound from above ! The wind rustled through the lush leaves of the tree He looked up and looked around for a creature so strong that the branches did sway ! He looked up and around in wonder and awe and, Yes - Fear ! His grandmother was near She watched all of this It happened before you were three ! by Nama Pat for Timothy, Christmas 1994 -------------------------------------
