Tropes On My Island
Tropes On My Island
To go to Tonga like this had not been my plan
Recommended though it was on the lonely planet
Om mantras were now my only companion
Planting seeds in my inner world and mind
In the interest of survival fire rubbed from sticks
Condensation separating salt from water
A salt water crocodile kept me on gritted toes
Lotus food for thought in search of coconuts
Indigenous fruit for fitness strength and
Sustenance with squashy avocado paste and
Lizard skin to heal and protect from sunburn
All basic needs fulfilled when I the cave man
Note and scribe my spiritual enduring message
Dry in the sand for posterity and loving kindness
