tropical

sun shines on the vibrant green leaves
casting shadows
in the humidity
throwing yourself into the waves
and letting the water suport your weight
the sound of seagulls in the distance
and the taste of coconut on parched tongues
in each seashel another memorie is created
to be looked back on with a wistful smile
with every sweet crashing of the tides
on the sands of serenity
a grin is spread from ear to ear
the smell of sunscreen
and half melted popcicles in the sun
laughter that fills the scent heavy air
baked in light and colorful feathers
as small children run around
alighting on the sheer delight that they have found
and basking in the sun
every surfboard, towel, and umbrella
among the busy beauty of the tropical world.
