A WALK ALONG THE CANAL
Lush vegetation, rushing water, we walk along,
music fairly vibrates the air, humming in ones bones,
the scintillating scent of food, awakens the scenes,
crowded, flooded with people, variation,
Trees stretch their limits, brushing past the sky,
flourishing, luxuriant, casting cool shadows,
restaurant after restaurant, people fill them to brimming,
performs stand, sit, sending thrilling music into the throng.
The music dances in ones soul, awakening the spirit,
the rushing water, flows in ones lives blood, enchanting,
the canal, lives in ones heart, a exotic allure,
igniting the scenes, engulfing the soul, capturing the heart.
The abundant scents speak deep, the tongue throbbing to taste,
a nip of food here, addicting, a bite of food there, fanatic.
Sweet lavish pastries, entrees’ of potent perfection,
Rich fragrant coffee, a flavor like no other.
Rush of flowing water, dance of wind filled trees,
sounds of night flow through you, music fills you.
Walk on, scents entrap you, enthralling, welcoming,
The canal, a living breathing entity, beauty all its own.
