At last
A beach
This beach
Any beach
It isn't Tobago
Jamaica
Antigua
No matter
This beach will do for me.

Days of fume-filled lungs
Dirt-clung eyeballs
Dust-congealed nostrils
You've heard it all before
If it isn't Barbados
Dominica
Bermuda
No matter
This beach will do for me.

Oh, to hear the waves
To smell the sea
To feel the warm waters
Caressing
Soothing to my parched skin
To lie
Listless
Dreaming
Beneath my cluster of palm
This oasis
Godsend
Yes, this will do for me.

It may not be 10 out of 10 for you
But for me this will definitely do.

Back do Done That...

We really like the people who send in their stories and poems. Their views are always worth listening to. Sometimes they might differ from that of Explore, but that's okay because the world is an interesting place and we like to discover and talk about it, even if we don't agree. Just so you know.
