BLISS
By Fiona Cummings
A palm tree gently blows in the wind, making that swishing
sound
Steel drums can be heard in the background
The turquoise ocean ripples under the red sunset
Salted fairy tales tell how lovers met
A lizard snoozes on a nearby rock
The tropical birds flock
I love the amazing
different smells
The shape of the beautiful coloured shells
The spices mingle
And gold sand blends
in to meet with the shingles
Traders set up their makeshift stalls
Boasting carvings and stunning silk shawls
Ladies approach you to bead your hair
But this early in the day, you need not know they will be
there
The world is miles away
The night turns into day
And there is a forever feeling
A calming heeling
Escapism
A place of well being
I love the Caribbean
