Analysis of Secluded Island
You yawn, you stretch and then you wake
To avian melodies fragmented,
Glints of sunshine, ferns sway gently,
O’er fruits effervescently fermented.
The fog rolls in; the waters splash
To repetitive head high gushes,
You seek a ridge without a cover,
Hmmm! Emotional rushes!!
Garlands, buds, and yellow blades
Reveal a knack for finding
Beauty clothed in vegetation,
Fragrance of frangipani binding!
Petals floating on the breeze,
Wafting gingerly o’er limbs,
Wispy clouds, sun-warmed rocks,
Waning sunlight, dim!
