Magnificent Coconut

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the tropical sun, where palm trees sway
I'm depicting palm fronds with a lyrical portray.
On a lowly fruit that cynosure nature bestows
A fascinating tale spanning the coconuts it grows
In this heavenly place, the sun hugs the sea.
As the palm arms are at ease, waltz-free
One oval and brown fruit called its home.
Vast coconuts will soon be the topic of the dome.
Its thick shell shielded the marvel inside.
Savory nectar quenches thirst, and hearts abide.
A flavor of absolute delight with every sip
A choir of taste straight fresh from the lip,
The coconut was still beyond just a drink.
It provided shelter and an oasis to think.
Its sturdy limbs may be used to build a home.
A safe sanctuary in which we used to roam,
Twigs swung as viridescent wings in the breeze.
Whisper riddles and yore tales to whom please.
They spoke of slipshod seamen who died at sea.
Who drew repose and zest from a coconut tree?
In a field of flaxen front, figments fatten factually.
Amid all the turmoil, the nut was acting naturally.
Surrounding its shell was an ether, marvelous.
It's a magnum opus of health and grace, fabulous.
The heavenly and pristine coconut oil.
Sooth the skin and spire to spark over spoil
Every sip is laced with an extra bit of bliss.
Holistic therapy is a genuine aesthetic hiss.
On the lithe coast of this mellifluous paradise.
Waves sigh slyly in a placid sleep sack of spice.
A nut tree rose aloft as a symbol of grace.
The lyrical credence of ambrosian embrace
