whispering breeze touching the calm
of the slumbering brine
patches of green fronds on their stems
stark against cloud white sublime
warmth from the blessed heaven above
staving off chill to the bone
stillness and peace yet undisturbed
ocean not showing a foam
island by mist gently is kissed
breaking horizon of blue
such a fine line bordering that
seen as an edge to a few
but to the eye searching and bold
adventure the call luring strong
beckoning offering that yet unknown
a wistful and sweet lilting song
sweet odor of lush green cut grass
mingling in the salt air
west of the reef gentle the tide
nurtures the sand with a care
where else a calm daily as here
far north of Queensland's east coast
between Townsville and Cairns
winter escape proving this no idle boast

warmth from the blessed heaven above
staving off chill to the bone

adventure the call luring strong
beckoning offering that yet unknown
a wistful and sweet lilting song
sweet odor of lush green cut grass

nurtures the sand with a care
where else a calm daily as here
far north of Queensland's east coast
between Townsville and Cairns
