A twist
A knot tightened
And then, a gentle breeze
Hibiscus flowers and yellow Roses sway in the wind
The sky clears
A brilliant blue, reassuring, promising
Reminiscent of morning dew.
Colors dance in the sun
Orange, lilac, yellow, green
A soft stream sings ...foaming at the seam
Crabs crawl
A frog skips
Palm Trees gracefully lean towards the sparkling sea
The tides turn and the waves swish and swoosh, crashing into the pale yellow shore
A loosened cord, a lone mango tree
She walks away
Free.
