Illusion

I passed illusion one fine day
Swimming off a lovely cay
Watching butterflies with fins
And colored scales upon their skins.

They passed before my very eye
So quick I thought that they did fly
Around sea fields of magic green
That swayed to music of the scene.

Some flew in schools of quick and spree
And some that moseyed near to me
I watched the scene of drift and seem
That seemed to me was but a dream.

But soon the sun had burned my skin
And I turned back with stroke of fin
And went inside to cool my hide
And tell the glories to my bride.

But honeymoons are not all sight
I think they are for mostly night.

~ Hope your sunburn didn't interfere with the nights of yours and Isabel's second honeymoon!
