Island
Lying in the pure, white sand,
Gazing at the ball of flame,
Rising slowly beyond the horizon,
Alone, contented, peaceful.
Hear the sound of gulls chirping,
Smell the salty, fresh air,
The waves gently crashing,
Onto the seashore.
The wind blows softly,
Your heart fills with joy,
Your face radiant and at peace,
On the island.
