On the Costa Del Sol at the Kempinski
A brave blackbird from its lofty branch sang its enchanting song
Warbling magical mystic melodies all evening long
So small and delicate he welcomed all to this beach club throng
After the wrong we’ve done his kind, he still wants us to belong
The proud white crested sea horses frolicked and foamed, dashed and danced
Beneath sun soaked Mediterranean skies they reared and pranced
Racing unbridled from Neptune’s kingdom to a beach of gold
Suddenly vanishing by a force of nature uncontrolled
Rising like a mighty phoenix sculptured in the depths of hell
The giant rock, Gibraltar stands where warriors fought and fell
Portal to Africa, the Atlas Mountains, stark, dominant
Greek Gods chronicled epic fables of this dark continent
A daily eclipse cloaked the last glimmer of earthly light
O’er which a secret stygen empire covertly rules by night
' Til the Sun frees itself each Morning from this oppressive plight
Forced to exert all its celestial mega massive might
Then sky and sea merge beautifully into all shades of blue
A white hot Sun gifts life and commands this awe-inspiring view
Investing in new life, the tree, the bird and the busy bee
In all nature’s symphony, nurturing peace and harmony
The breeze heavy with blossom and the sultry scents of the sea
Wafts aimlessly calming our senses. All is tranquillity
