Sand Island

The crisp cool wind is blowing in my face Kenny G blowing “forever in love” In my ears while trying to keep a pace The blue, cloudless sky looming high above Me only enhance my recurrent ride To Sand Island, a very special place Where all worldly problems are set aside Awhile and “I” is the objective case Yes! It’s all about me during this ride: Pedaling, sightseeing and elation These of which can not at all be denied Me. Upon reaching my island mission I’m Inspired enough to write this sonnet About a special day I’ll not forget. The meandering beaten path in front Of me guides my way through a host of trees. Some I identify but most I don’t Have a clue as to their names. Just the breeze In my face, the earth-colored foliage, The fauna scampering in front of me, And birds singing from branches, all upstage My intruding presence. My mp3 Playing Kenny G songs along the way: Love songs mostly but it doesn’t matter I’m in love everyday, more so today. I love god, wife and nature, all concur And reciprocate. This is my heaven In a very special place: Sand Island.
