Acrylic Painting - View of Mountain from Costa Adeje

Tenerife, Spain

Flying through the sky

Sailing along way up here

Just down there below me

Fluffy white filled puffs of air

Traveling to an island

Where I’ve never been before

Don’t know what awaits me

Never been through this door

There’s an international rhythm

That I notice in this land

Cars not people move swiftly

And a language I understand

Where I walk there are no traces

Like back home I tread concrete

Images replace those cracked crevices

There are tiles below my feet

Terracotta graces the rooftops

Bright white siding far and wide

Jewel tone blue waters

Are seen from every side

The heavens are vast and flowing

Colors seem to burst from the sun

Many have seen this before me

I am not the only one

I have never touched a rainbow

After the sky pours out the rain

I want to touch the mountains

That I see here in Spain

As I stand here on this balcony

Coming to visit my friend

In God’s country at Los Geranios

This cloud ceiling has no end

Feeling this warm temperature

Taking its time each day

Though I am just a foreigner

From thousands of miles away

So yes I’ve come to see you

These views beyond belief

The places I’ve explored

I am in love with Tenerife

Drive Slow

You can’t rush you way

Into my heart you know

Give me time that’s what it takes

For our love to grow

No need to explain

It’s all that I’m saying

Don’t go down that artery in vain

I’m no passerby no playing

Just thought I’d let you know

Just drive slow

I don’t want no joy ride

That’s not my kind of jam

Keep your speed in control

Just take me as I am

Just steer to and fro

Thought you’d like to know

Just drive slow

Everything will be alright

Let’s take a drive tonight

I won’t complain

Down lovers lane

When we have to cross that bridge

It will be our privilege

And we’ll take it slow

Just drive slow
