WHEN FIRST DISCOVERED

 

 

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.
