The sun painted the sky with splashes of yellow
Our path was paved with mountains so high
Earnest and happy were the memories we made
Sweet was the lingering taste long after
Trees seemed to sway in tune with the music
We drove along wishing we could capture it all
No painting could rightly portray
Yet several tried mesmerized sans doute
As it stretched in front of my eyes
An expanse of blue , blue and more blue
I couldn't but feel more thankful
For you see, it was the day I saw the Pacific Ocean.
p.s - my first attempt at penning a poem. neither the poem nor the oil painting is perfect, but I prefer to leave it that way :)
