Note: Special thanks to Elizabeth Wesley for planting the seed (another one) for this poem.  And despite the dismal nature of this writing, Sanibel Island is still a beautiful place to see and visit.  


Sanibel, Sanibel, Sanibel dream;
Once we were lovers before I knew what love means.  

I held your hands, your soft white sands
Caressing my fingers tender;
Sanibel, Sanibel where have you have gone
Our love no longer lingers. 

Gone are your spiraling sea shells,
Remains of your deep ocean friends; 
Gone are your crystalline shorelines 
I left my footprints in.

From progress called sky scrapers
And concrete travel parks;
Sanibel, dear Sanibel,
You’ve lost your sweet lovers spark.

Others may find you still lovely
With your great blue egret plumes;
But I’m not fooled for a New York minute
Because I watched shooting stars with you.

While the waves washed in from the distance
And the tides came and went with the moon;
I gave you my all while following the call
And you left me far too soon.  

Sanibel, Sanibel, Sanibel dream;
Once we were lovers before I knew what love means.
