GULF ISLE GETAWAY

My wife and I saluted the end of the school year by heading out to the Gulf Islands to recover and rediscover. 

The verses are from a bliss wish-list I gathered from polling friends and colleagues.

Gulf Isle Getaway

For some it’s a circle of stones by a ruin

or a rendezvous at noon

or maybe that special tune that plays

when love attracts your eye,

the toast and taste of champagne,

Uclulet cabin in the rain

or all the games they games they play

in a car ride far away

But you and me on a Gulf Isle getaway

Hot tub under cedar trees

That’s got to be the right place for me

Mais oui, c’est la Tower Eiffel en Paris

or the sea in Galilee

maybe that spark when the energy flows

when two souls have been dancin’ a while,

the heat of flamenco and wine

where two Niles combine,

or it’s an Everest mountain to climb

to feel you’ve reached your goal

For some it’s winter anywhere but here,

ah for a hammock and cooler of beer

or maybe a scope on a night so clear

you see eternity

alone at a campsite by a Cariboo road

or Winabego mode

or Café Deux Soleils to unload

to friends who knows your style
