In October of 2003, I took a little two day get-away to the west coast of Florida. And that beautiful place was called Sanibel Island, it prompted me to write this. I never made it back there, but every now and again I get a longing to go back and finish that much needed vacation. Oh well I still have it on my agenda to do just that one day.

    My ocean island where have you gone? you are

still in my heart like a beautiful song, calling me

back to where i belong.

      Stars so close i could almost reach, golden

shells along your beach. Barefeet in the sand, with

shells in my hand, i am looking out to sea, there is

so much beauty , it surrounds me. Ocean smells in

my nose, silky sand between my toes.

     You have captured a big part of me,and if i close

my eyes i still can see your waves coming and going

out to sea. i still have the glow of your warmth on my

skin to remind me of where i have been.

       One day i will come back to you, with more

time to give you, to frolic and play in your bliss, to

greet each morning with a kiss.You are my little

piece of heaven, right there on Sanibel Island.
