St George-of-the-River

Silver streams;
Spires soar.

The orange trees
Bow with the weight
Of their fruit;

Aching towards the river
Glistening with the sun's rays
Shining through palm fronds.

I leap around levees
The water tumbles over boulders
Strewn across meanders,

Weaving a new tapestry
From threads of green and silver
Against blue and white.

Sun sets;
Swallows swoop.
