The Man From Primrose Sands
His songs have stood the test of time,
This Man from Primrose sands,
His creativity knows no bounds,
A gift, you understand.
A story teller through and through,
All written from the heart.
Lyrics haunt and capture the soul,
With the wisdom they impart.
His granddad’s story lingers on
In John’s song ‘Recherche Bay’,
And just reflect when listening to
‘If I Only Had One Day’.
The songs are many he’s composed,
They’re sung to all his friends,
As interest is turning elsewhere
His journey just extends.
Now landscape painting takes his time
His talent to the fore,
A charcoal drawing sets the scene,
This painter will explore.
As brushstroke, by gentle brushstroke,
Different colours merge,
As significant images spring to life,
The landscape does emerge.
The densely forested hillside,
Shaded, back to the sun,
The golden fields with strips of green
Where rain water has run.
A river’s path lined with gum trees,
A pool reflecting light,
With trees standing like sentinels
A truly, wonderful sight.
The artist’s pictures from the mind
Are created to enjoy,
The man from Primrose Sands
Has talent to employ!
