I STROLL in sumptuous Porthkerry Park
Stress evaporates like the morning dew
With the sun shining through a skeletal tree
As if a dazzling ball hanging on a branch
And a squirrel scurries high above.
The bids chirp and the grass is verdant
Yes, it’s truly beautiful here today
With noisy summer crowds now far away.
I contemplate whilst walking on
Wondering if God created this magic
For this scenic view has lifted my soul.
I tread over a miniature bridge
With the stream beneath rushing past
A reminder of recent storms
But now blue sky has replaced the grey
For it’s truly beautiful here today.
Porthkerry viaduct never ceases
To fill me with awe and I imagine
How hard Victorian workmen had to toil.
Then I’m greeted by Porthkerry beach
With pebbles which I wander over
Listening to the roar of the glistening sea.
I’m almost alone on the sun-kissed bay
And it’s truly beautiful here today.
