Off the coast
Of a beautiful island
Where the people call Bray,
The sun does shine
But not for long
Just before the rain.
***********************************************************************************************
Through the tranuil woodlands
The rough but gentle breeze,
Sweeps your hair accross your face
Makes you never want to leave.
***********************************************************************************************
Wafts the scent of fish and chips
Through the crisp air,
Nipping at your nose
Then a ferry and it's blare.
***********************************************************************************************
The stiff and cold ground
Blends into the rugged sea,
As the waves crash
As loud as they can be.
***********************************************************************************************
The thoughts
They bring back,
Beloved memories
Of a chilhood outing,
My mum, my dad and me.
***********************************************************************************************
A walk down the sand,
Toe-deep in sand,
Watching the water roll in.
***********************************************************************************************
In comes the tide
Away from the night,
To rest out here in peace.
***********************************************************************************************
Alas, my walk
Comes to a halt,
Along The Shores Of Bray.
