Waves barely make a sound.
There's a soft gentle breeze,
Not many people around.
Sun is shining brightly,
You can feel the heat,
The sand feels warm and moist
on your feet.

Is this paradise or am I
Living a dream?
Is life as magical or a good
as it seems?
I feel I can see the wonderous
Mysteries of the deep;
Is this paradise, or am I
still asleep?

In the distance there are
Islands with trees galore.
All this magis just
Outside our door.
You hear the birds singing
in the canopies of the trees,
Kookaburras, parrots, flying
wild and free.

If I'm still asleep. I hope
this dream never ends.
What other wonders are
around the next bend?
Rainforests, waterfalls,
There's so much to see.
The mountains in the distance--
If I'm asleep, let me be. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 223 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Mysticpoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

You have given us a very picturesque poem. I feel like I am there walking on the beach too.

Wow this was breathtaking,
especially since I've lived up in
the Gold Coast for a couple of months.

Though, I'm in NSW now, but still
have a beach across the road from
our house. (Bondi)

The imagery in this was perfect,
you described the scene so well.

Especially the bit about kookaburras. :D

*Loves native animals*

Keep writing!

You used some nice imagery, and I think you picked a good rhyme scheme that corresponded with the happy tone of your poem. Good job!
