Break Away
No crowds shouting, no Latin beats,
but white sails
quietly flap with the breeze,
and rhythmic emerald waves
against golden sands cease.
With nostalgia, somewhat,
I drink gentle elixir of the soul,
in my day of departing
I sink in the Creator's embrace,
and let take to a home of deep freeze,
of Caribbean azure, a little piece.
