Paradise Veins

Catch of the day whales frolicking play

Harken their tails on blue tide of day

Come the squall a tale of all the dolphins bounding sprawl

Grazing the beaches the sun finally reaches touching us all

Turtles endless scroll of the bounding shoal read waves of Braille

Feast the features of colorful sea creatures upon winds of sail

Wave the palms in rhythmic psalms singing island praise

Piers of destiny lead tropical wings in melodic plays

Paradise veins course the remains of my former self

Shorely to think horizons of pink of nothing else

I have arrived.
