| Category - Places | | A Poem from the Jetty Views Collection | | This Bridge to Paradise - Viewed 43 Times | David Devaney
Website
June 13, 2010 |
The bridge that leads to Paradise
Is merely two lanes wide
It arches high above the pass
Where crewboats come to hide
And from its crest you’ll always see
The Gulf in panorama
And too the village on its edge
Seems like a diorama
Most beautifully depicted there
Are jetty, shore and beach
White dappled clouds beneath blue skies
Are too within your reach
Each house likes storks on long stretched legs
Sits high above the land
While Palm Trees whisper tales of yore
Above the sugar sand
They tell of Fort Velasco Old
Its place in history
Of Pirate Treasures buried deep
And too their mystery
These sand ghosts too regale us all
With odes to fishermen
Who sailed their boats upon the sea
To not return again
They whisper too of bygone times
When surfers rode each wave
Onto great beaches endlessly
That folks now hope to save
So next time when adventuring
In search of what you’ve lost
Come ride this bridge to Paradise
It has no fee or cost
“Devin”
