Island Song

Played with rich joy and tenderness,

the notes are light,

bright and soothe your soul.

Here is where you can

breathe

fresh air that fills every part of you,

all the way down to your imagination.

The color pallet is vibrant here,

a shock to the senses

for all of you city dwellers.

Gone are taupe-colored walls,

gray-flannel suits

and concrete edifices to camouflage you.

Not here.

Crashing waves,

rustling leaves,

almost rhythmic tapping of bamboo forests

and the stillness of the mountain top.

All of those notes play at once,

making for a perfect

island song.
