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.
