Still

 

Sometimes

Early morning

On the island is

So still not a leaf

Stirs, not a flower

Petal is in motion,

Birds sit stone like

As if in silent prayer,

The air has a damp aroma

Of sweetness mixed with the

Tangy bite from the ocean, whose

Noisy licking of the shore seems to

Be in soft suspension in honour of the

Scene, so softly quiet that I can hear the

Echo of your heartbeat miles and miles and

Miles away.
