To be in Bimini or spend the day on Scotland Cay,enjoy the sandy beaches of San Juan, Aruba,
or Saint Croix, meander through Montego Bay,
roast fish upon a rock in Fiji,
pitch a tent makai on Lanai, Hawaii -
my mind's eye is on an island get-away
and while I'm dreaming, maybe I should
focus on a private one, just room for two
and go to sleep imagining the sparks of
fire and popping of the burning wood
that accompanies the gentle waves of
our lagoon, no moon above but stars
the size of coconuts shine down on two
so far below, a couple snuggled close enough
that from the heavens, we appear as one.
