Out On The Island


Out On The Island

By Bud Lemire on July 13, 2011



Out on the island is where I love to be

On a warm summer day I can let my spirit roam free

Listen to the birds as they fly from tree to tree

While the butterflies fly in circles all around me



The dragonflies are dancing in the air

Seagulls fly overhead when I am there

The Brown Thrasher searches for food in the grass

He watches me cautiously as I walk pass



The Yellow Warbler sings a song nearby

I focus in on where he is with my eye

He comes a little closer in curiosity

While my camera zooms in to capture him in the tree



A Kingfisher snacks on a fish that he just caught

Reminds me of the last fish that I bought

It tasted so good, I know how he feels

To have one of those tasty fish meals



I see a sandpiper on a rock as I walk along the shore

And a sailboat on the horizon, who could ask for more

The sun shining down in a certain spot

And swimmers in the water, because it sure is hot



Out on the island is where I love to be

My soul is much happier when it's flowing free

No worries at all, I can just be me

Caught up in the moment with everything I see




Out on Aronson Island is where I love to be. Birds, butterflies, & dragonflies. Frogs! It's just a beautiful place to spend time at. I've been going out there since I was able to walk and even though I miss my childhood days and how they had it before...they did a great job of fixing it up and maintaining it to the way it looks today. I try not to miss a day without going out there to see my friends of nature.
