Ode to Salt Spring Island
The sun shines forever
Sweet smell in the wind
Still, quiet.
Waves crash against the rocks
But are silenced, by that of the quiet talk of the people.
The Grass is wet with dew
Birds sing in the trees
Sea surrounds.
Merry travelers,
Bustle to and fro
Ferry lights glisten,
Offshore.
The Markets are a buzz
Their Clothes,
Rainbows of light
In that place, I know
Peace forever abides.
Thank you Saltspring
For being the place that I have loved
Thank you Saltspring
For being the arms I have taken shelter in
The most beautiful place I have been.
Thank you SaltSpring
For being so open and breezy
Thank you Saltspring
For being my inspiration
The place that brings me such elation.
