Island Daydreams
The sun-warmed sand burned the soles of our feet,
and a sultry breeze blew off the turquoise sea.
The laughter of island children competed with
the melodic offerings of steel drums
that played somewhere in the distance.
And everywhere we turned, color burst forth:
In the fresh fruits whose juice
made our fingers sticky with sweetness,
the brightly colored sarongs of the women,
and the exotic blossoms
he safely tucked away for memories.
While shopping at Costco with my husband, I noticed the bouquet of fresh flowers that I had bought lying over the top of a shirt he had purchased. I loved the color combination of the kraft-colored tag with its exotic logo, his cream colored shirt, and the colors of the flowers. The next day, he was sweet enough to let me place all kinds of flowers all over his new shirt until I "got the shot." :)
