Aruba

by Noel Shafi | 2009

Strolling through glossy white sand with silver plated shells and stones
Floating in gentle waves and translucent waters with a placid mind
Submerged in oceanic therapy-soothingly permeating pores and stimulating
nerves
...with winds of life, carrying underwater birds
visualizing rays of light breezing past you...
(with curious dark black eyes, gray leather scales and gracious fins)
Let he who bears witness from the shores—
that you became a part of a living portrait...
a canvas of sea life in this liquid painting,
brushing the imagination with salty tears of paradise
as you bathe in ecstasy; sedated by anesthetic waters and tranquilizing sand
You may adore these Aruban shores, where every grain becomes an island
