Blissful Arrest

Take me away to 

Prince Edward Island, 
Garden of the Coast.

So I can spend the night in a big wild cherry tree, 

all silvery in the moonlight, on my way 

to Green Gables’ Shore.

Drive me down the peculiar red roads 

and adorning serenity of White Way Delight.

Arrest my senses in fields ofLavender

 and Queen Anne’s Lace.

Luxuriate my palate with oysters, 

clams, and lobster while 

the salty sea breeze captures my breath.

Stroll me along the crimson 
brimmed harbor, discovering giant windmills and 

faded lighthouses set in a background of dark blue.

And spend the evening at Laird’s Hill 

gazing at the red and orange hues, 

melting into the Lake of Shining Waters.

Tuck me in at the white farmhouse 

with a faded green roof.
