An Island Paradise

The Sunday Whirl
The given words:
Bear,bend,bird,bridge,fallen,heaven,island
lane,meadow,retreat,rock,unstable,wild


Bear in mind that
A bend of the road
Or a fallen bridge
May not be such
An obstacle

A meadow in heaven’s
Likeness is a savior in a
Lane of peace a likely
Retreat from
Birds of prey

It may not rock the
Unstable nature of a
Wild imagination but
Can well be a catalyst

An island paradise
Is still within reach!

    you are always great Hank, your poems are simple, easy on the read, yet fill with wisdom and what should be the obvious.
