Elysium of St Lucia

climb between the spires hot bare feet on sugar beach touch the winding surf opening and closing eyes i’ve left earth for heaven’s peak tour leaves the pitons ~ on the bus, bananas and warm cassava bread

I like how the seemingly beautiful contrasts with the down-to-earth bus ride back home. Beautifully expressed, Kim.

Sounds fun Kim! Except in San Diego, my hot bare feet were tortured feet when I stepped on the sand. I swear I never hot footed it so quickly to the water...and that was with only partial bare feet, I was wearing sandals! OUCH! But oh my, nice warm almost hot bare feet in the ocean sand, 'sugar beach' no less, sounds lovely, almost heavenly.

'hot bare feet on sugar beach'.... Had this experience on Siesta Key beach in Florida. After being at heaven's peak, you are back to ground realities. I am sure your trip to St. Lucia must have been very enjoyable.

It was before covid. I have not been to the Florida Keys. Thank you, sweet friend!
