Sense the romance of Bermuda
Smell its floral notes
Taste the tropical life
Pastel houses with white roofs
Pristine pink sandy beaches
Sparkling azure, sensuous sea
Roadside oleanders grow tall
Rose, pink and white blossoms
Perfume hangs over the island
Catacomb of caves under salty sea
Coral reefs in kaleidoscope colors
Hear waves crash down upon ocean rocks
Fishing boats speckle the bay
Weighing the day’s catch dockside
Sun reflects in marlin’s shiny fin
Cedars touch bright blue skies
Taste an avocado fresh from tree
Lavender when sun meets water
Hot sunny days with balmy nights
Snapshots stored in mind’s eye-
Heaven
