174As you near the shore you can make out the faint susurrus of the surf the whisking whispers of the waves as the bubbles fizzle ever so silently Upon passing a cumber of upturned shells the sand greets your shadow tickling gulling you from the picture postcard panorama that lay beyond Your scrunching toes succumb as the soggy sensation spreads ceaselessly the silken sand coating the bottom of your feet like butter on bread Unencumbered your feet get the first flavor of freedom your spirit soaring above When you cast your eyes out to the sea you observe the horizon hemmed in sardine silver The emerald blue of the ocean sprays across the exhaled mist forming an image clear as a beached shell You re blown away The horseshoe shaped lagoon gleams gold as a melted treasure cove all the same under the sun A cluster of treetops with explosions of carnival green canopies flamboyant flora and tame toucans is reminiscent of the virginity of the island The simple yet spellbinding splendor of what lay beyond sweeps you off your feet It's pure paradise
As you look up the sun hits you like a brick and your eyes struggle to regain consciousness Reflexively you retreat into the lush shade of the nearest palm tree An umbrella from the beams the soaring columnar structure leads the cool colonnade looming over the coast an impenetrable wall of green Your eyes now sheltered shine as they absorb the mesmerizing magnificence of nature s fractals shimmering in the mist Waving along with the wind your ears buoy up to the waves of the water Your ears hearken to the beckoning of a mermaid The siesta is abruptly adjourned as you get wind of a flock of gulls wolf white gulls swooping from atop They fly from nearby come and gone You decry an insignificant infant of a fowl as small as a world and as large as alone Frolicking the nestling prances snuggles into your arms You feel a fleeting feeling of fatherhood of parenthood it's come and gone The tiny little tweet springs wobbling unto the sand perching itself atop the tide You follow The soothing scents of the sea take your breath away The moist breath of the water is accompanied by a minty aroma that fills your lungs with the coolest freshest of air The perfume of sea spray pure unadulterated creeps up the buds of your nose you re pretty much sozzled Your tongue can almost taste the tangy flavor of the salt ridden perspiration of the ocean the breeze makes your eyes water your feet tingle
The tide rises rises rises until it dwarfs you unforgivingly until a streak of hot silver splits the sky and a tumultuous clap of thunder comes close so close creating a gut wrenching demonic cacophony until you wake up By heaven s grace twas just a dream Rubbing your barnacle encrusted eyes you breathe a sigh of relief The prolonged afternoon siesta had set forth a velveteen crimson carpet for the sun to descend upon The sky is a hue of rose and salmon pink and in the horizon are a few thin strips of clouds hovering awkwardly The sea is as calm as a millpond and the waves as threatening as a fluffy poodle on a leash As you look in the distance to your utmost delight you see bouncy bottlenose dolphins effervescing as though in celebration As you stand on the shore the sand tickling your toes the sun setting beyond the waves whispering in your ears the trees nodding in agreement you take a long deep breath Your heart flutters so do the butterflies in your gut You smell the sea you feel the sky and let your soul fly
