A Slice of Heaven

I sit , look around
Only water to be found 
The white clean sand
Falls like an hourglass in my hand. 

Feeling so far away
Lost at shore, held at bay
Laying flat under the sun
Island living is pure fun. 

A tropical oasis sitting sole
Escaping into a fishbowl
Waves lapping onto shore
Never lonely, feeling whole. 

An island is by far
A place to love, leaves no scars
A precious piece of land
You have to go to understand.
