White Wash

Santorini,Greece my top pick
staring out to the Aegean Sea.
Blissful emotion in my heart
this island set me free.

White washed caves to sleep in
fresh fruit to tempt your tongue.
Riding mopeds to black rock beaches
topless in the sun. 

Music fills the air at night
my ears are filled with soul.
Dancing freely in the bars
making me feel whole.

Braided locks of rainbow threads
fall down my shoulders bare.
Mud bath waters to sail to
softens feet to hair.

Winds of purity
sweep across my face.
Ill forever remember Greece
My most special place.

You make Greece sound like a wonderful place to visit, Kristen. Would love to see the "braided locks of rainbow threads" and feel the "winds of purity" sweep across my face. Great poem! Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest. Love, Carolyn
