Notes About The Poem

under its spell

summer time in Crete was intoxicating
the beach the sky the sun the sea
our vacation was coming to its abrupt end
we said our goodbyes and promised to return
knowing we were leaving our hearts behind

When you visit somewhere exotic, you bid adieu with a promise to return… Hugs
