Paradise Lost

Azure blue lagoons with silken sands Bodies glistening with mocha tans Tropical winds and gentle waves Divers exploring luminous caves Children romping on the shores Charming thatched huts without doors Native girls in brightly coloured sarongs Beach Bunnies in barely there thongs Palm trees swaying in the breeze A tantalizing picture meant to tease A beautiful paradise, one of a kind To stir the senses and stimulate the mind The water rises, the sky is black Howling winds, no fighting back People trapped, horrific scene Drowning, death, what does it mean? Broken trees and dreams Bodies floating, children's screams Nature's fury , the highest cost Paradise is forever lost Dedicated to the Tsunami Victims
