This poem titled 9589 is an inadequate attempt to express the emotions on encountering the enchanting, breathtaking and exquisite views of the blue Mediterranean sea with the dramatic backdrop of Africa, The Atlas Mountains and Gibraltar seen from the terraces of apartment 9589 in the Kempinski Hotel on the Costa Del Sol.
9589
A bright sapphire sky, laced with rainbow shades
Beautifully designed by Nature's Brand
A strong brash paint stroke delicately fades
As if canvassed on ghostly shifting sand
Views to venerate, senses to savour
Oft refreshed by an unseen guiding hand
Working, mending without fear or favour
To bring a magic to sky, sea and land
Art from nature's workplace never at rest
Earth’s grandeur at its’ ethereal best
Framed by a distant mist-strewn Africa
Mountains rise ‘bove pink haze and cyan sea
Stirring passions for age-old Shang-ri-la
Dreams are ever shrouded in mystery
Yet these views I'll see for eternity
