WHEN FIRST DISCOVERED
Upon the shores of paradise
and magnet drawn as Joshua led
the land of light where sentences
of rising hills that punctuate
the open skies and milk white light.
Where jet black shadows casting form
on landscapes golden honeyed tones
sweep down to dappled shimmering seas
and pointillist colours bounce and play
recorded by artistic palette.
This the painters promised land
each day and as blue mists descend
across this terra incognita.
