I Write of Imagination / 25 Days in Guam

Imagine the motion
of the Pacific Ocean
the pull of the tide
the bronze surfer ride.

Imagine whispering coconut trees
swaying in the breeze.
Imagine coconut crabs
beneath the coconut trees
swaying in the breeze
eating the coconuts
that fall beneath
the coconut trees.

Imagine Asian tourist
from the Guam Marriot,
the Hilton, the Outrigger
Guam Resort, the Weston
and the Hyatt Regency;
swimming and surfing,
parasailing and snorkeling,
scuba diving and wind surfing
in the warm waters of the
Philippine sea and even me
laughing and playing,
soaking up the sun and
having loads of fun.

Grand to hear that you are enjoying yourself surrounded by the great pacific ocean. Has to be magical . ..

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
'Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?'
'Yes, I am. I married the wrong man.'

This is so light-hearted and simple.  I love it.  Maybe we make life too complicated and need to break it down to a beautiful day, palm trees and coconuts and bright blue water.

Maybe.
