 Extra Tropical By: Noah Eaton 8/22/06 (Nothing like daydreaming in ¾ time, like taking a siesta in a tire swing, being stranded on a sandbar, living like a gypsy on a bee sting fling.) Me and my baby were on a tropical contact high, down on the Pink Beach of the Bahamas, steel drum symphonies were playing more capriciously, than can be depicted in any closet drama, beachcombing these shores like Eleutheran adventurers, wading in cursive waters the color of candy floss, inviting as your fantasy fashion photo shoot backdrop, winking to me more revelling than the finest wine of Alsace. She was as effervescent as an island’s prime season, pirouetting upon each shady veranda, leaving dusty chairs for those with greater reason, freeing each piece of her heart from memoranda… …cause she’s counting each of her days as a separate life! Live your life and forget your age, not all you see is optical, breathe in the unforgettable hibiscus, see how life can be extra tropical… Extra tropical! (She shakes me like a hurricane!) Extra tropical! (She wears her smiles like a daisy chain!) Extra tropical! (Her spunk and poise is contagious!) Extra tropical! (It’s so cute when it becomes outrageous!)  Some learn their whole lives to agree with nature, she must have been born with a leaf of grass on her tongue, she believes in all of the work of the stars, youth was never meant to be high-strung, so she lets her spirit jig like a giddy katydid, across each hidden side of a summer’s leaf, she partakes more than tea breaks and banana pancakes, she leis it on the line if you know what I mean. She is well aware no instruction book, ever came supplied with Spaceship Earth, she just floats amidst the blueberry popsicle skies, drifting across imagination’s vibrating firth… ……cause she’s counting each of her days as a separate life! Live your life and forget your age, not all you see is optical, breathe in the unforgettable hibiscus, see how life can be extra tropical… Extra tropical! (She shakes me like a hurricane!) Extra tropical! (She wears her smiles like a daisy chain!) Extra tropical! (Her spunk and poise is contagious!) Extra tropical! (It’s so cute when it becomes outrageous!)  (Steel drum solo!) Wanna take a little joy ride, hang glide on the bright side, wanna take a bright vacation, dedicated to decoration, belly buster dive into your creation, acclimate to it like a crustacean, develop a fixation, with your inner-space station! Live your life and forget your age, not all you see is optical, breathe in the unforgettable hibiscus, see how life can be extra tropical… Extra tropical! (She shakes me like a hurricane!) Extra tropical! (She wears her smiles like a daisy chain!) Extra tropical! (Her spunk and poise is contagious!) Extra tropical! (It’s so cute when it becomes outrageous!) (That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it, that’s my philosophy, believe it if you wish, building a tree house on the tallest palmetto, duetting to a macaw’s larking libretto.)   "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |

Indeed, dear Noah, age doesn't matter when we live life with awareness ... inhaling a flower's fragrance and pausing in awe. You are transmitting an extraordinary feeling of "Extra Tropical" with your enthusiastic incredibly creative words. Very uplifting and joyful. Love, Margherita  |

Sounds good to me! Whenever I read your colourful, joyful writes, it fluffs up my wings, my aura and my spirit!  Thanks! I needed that!"Live your life and forget your age," ~ Yeppers! That's my credo as well! Love to you, Angel Man, EA  |
