Wild Tamarind

sunset bonfire smoke,

journey to the place within

sink on opal sand

constellation shines-

sailboats dot the horizon

on the aqua sea

white pomegranate.

an orchestra of frogs croak

on Monet lilies

the small island sleeps…

lemongrass and cattails sway

in a gentle dance

dawn brings a monarch,

Jolly Harbor comes alive

with sheer friendliness

seagulls ride the wind-

our footsteps gather coral

in the liquid sun

twinkling hummingbird,

travel the cobblestone path

up to the summit

ancient agave.

lock our fingers together

beneath the windmill

crushed oregano.

goats balance on the cliffside

plainly unaware

wild tamarind tree.

oasis for those who seek

heart and soul always
