Of late night dews that fall on
Worn ferns, Bahama and Lilies amidst
A slim cool air in the atmosphere
Gently bids adieu to a fleeting year.

her wet towel beneath.
Horseshoe bay smiles,
waves them in

The Present On the Beach
The May Bahama breezes rustled fronds
of palm trees very common on the beach.

Different stories to share.
Locals all here...
