Here

By Vitora

Wind

Whipping

‘Cross my face

Teasing my hair

Tugging at the waves

Tossing sea birds

Shattering

Silence

Here

Fruit

Smelling

Like heaven

Just a little

Touch of what it’s like

Ripe coconuts

Scattered ‘bout

The ground

Here

Sea

Tasting

Like fishes

Stale on my tongue

I’m swimming ‘round in

The warm ocean

With playful

Dolphins

Here

Birds

Shrilling

Crying out

Their lonesome songs

Wails, as though they’re lost

Even though their

Nests are here

Homes are

Here

Sand

Golden

Glistening in

Liquid rays of

Tropical sunshine

Wrapping the beach

In a coat

Of silk

Here
