The Island Breeze
Written by Ann LeFlore
The island Breeze
The island breeze
Comes from the sea
Floating on the wind
Like a melody
Whispering so soft to me
Carrying the sounds
The drums
The beat
The heat
Take your seat
Under the shade
The coco palms
Bows down
Sand under your feet
The baby sleeps
Without a peep
The ocean so deep
As blue as crystal glass
What makes you see
Into the sea
The creatures below
The blow fish swims by
The shark in pursuit
The coral so vibrant
So magnificent
The color
So bright and new
The brilliant colored fish
Hoover close by
The butterfly
Slowly flies by
Following his flight
Above the horizon
The giant volcano
Forms the island
So lush and green
The giant sculpture
Floats on the sea above
The volcano sleeps
Deep below
The ocean floor
To be waken no more
The children run by
Free as can be
Jumping in the lagoon
As warm as can be
Bathing their golden bodies
In the warm island sun
Not a care in the world
As free as the wind
Running and chasing
Each other
As they pass by
The breeze of the islands
So light
So soft
So refreshing
As can be
