One you’d least expect.
‘To put bread on the table
for my wife and son.
Twenty-seven awful years,
mainland living suits me now.’
But look at the sights!
To the left, church of Mary,
To the right, sorbet.
‘Don’t worry about my thoughts,
your pleasure, my employer.’
Rowing and towing,
quiet ripples in canal,
lovely Sunday ride.
Cynicism won’t blind us.
Our sour, grumpy gondolier!...
Living comes with a
PRICE, are you willing to pay?
Humanity or
the ocean’s loud voice
screaming to the collective
‘Let me show you the

Magic can cure us.
Oh divine mermaids

Peeking between the swords of life’s lessons.
Follow the rays of hope,
Infinite abundance, fun, and travel,
Pick your pleasure, fate is your guide.
Dancing thoughts and possibilities,
The sun is your strength,
No reason to shoulder the burden alone any longer.
The world is your delight.
You are the shining magic.
Dance, sing, create...
