Nature

Leisure Balm 
Golden spindles of luminous light 
Striking sand and water clear 
Tropical trees do bow and sway 
Trade winds gentle blowing near 
The skies of baby blue intrigue 
The fairest princess of the seas 
With cotton clouds to lie upon 
She tucks them tight around her knees. 
White mesh hammock in the trees 
Azure water breaking sand 
Leisure time rejuvenates, 
The soul and spirit of the land. 
I close my eyes and I behold 
Your luscious life of healing balm 
For if I had a ship with sail 
Off to your shores I’d surely come.
