Summer Seranade

Red eyed tiny tree frogs 
whistling at dusk.
Accompanied by croaking toads 
and crickets chirping loud.

Gentle soft breeze tickles my ears 
in sync with rhythmic waves.
Jumping fish splash now and then 
as they frolic for their prey.

Bermuda sunset turns to night.
The stars not hidden by city lights.
The moon shimmers on fluorescent peaks
as the ocean sparkles and splashes the beach.

As I lie on the coral isle 
my senses are replete.
This blissful summer serenade 
will soon woo me to sleep.
 
A speck in the Ocean.
