A Legend in my mind

There was a time..............
WHEN purity and innocence prevailed

WHEN the island was saturated with 
prolific rows of coconut trees 
grounded in fertile soil

WHEN the land was richly decorated 
with bountiful trees that bore 
tropical fruits

WHEN native people lived in humble 
abodes and nurtured the virgin land

WHEN the sultry air was gorged with a 
mesmerizing aroma 

WHEN there was peace of mind
and spiritual awakening of the indigenous soul prevailed

Standing still in the center of a 
vast ocean, it was untouchable

There was a time.............
when purity and innocence prevailed
