Rhythm 'n' Rhyme Showcase

Serenity

Sea like a canvas, strokes of a brush.

Idyllic scene, no one's in a rush.

Two boats are anchored, inside harbour walls.

Sea gently ripples, tide rises and falls.

Ìý

Children are playing, adults linger around.

Cafe' is serving, coffee that's ground.

People are walking or lazing in the sun.

Away from the world, is this perfect haven.

Ìý

Crags over hanging, birds nest in the cove.

Small cottage burning, peat in the stove.

Artist is capturing, the wonderful scene.

Which is perfectly created, by a hand unseen.

Ìý

This is Gods' nature, to us extended

People and creatures, perfectly blended.

We are only passing, out to enjoy.

The serenity provided at Ballintoy.

Ìý
