My Happy Place
Sunshine.
A good scent invading my nostrils.
The Cancun b r e e z e dances in my hair.
My family laughing.
The waiters pouring ice cold water into our glasses.
The ice clinking against the glass.
We sit a foot above the sand,
The ocean is our neighbor
v
a e
We listen to the w s crash,
One after the other.
Sea turtles are crawling on to the sand.
They are burring their eggs.
The gift of life.
The sunset creeps in the background.
Splashes of orange,
pink,
yellow,
and purple.
Our meals have arrived.
Perfectly cooked, handmade pasta,
Bathed with lobster and the chief’s secret sauce.
It swims in my mouth.
Simply delicious.
The chatter continues,
At our table
And the rest of the diners’.
But I keep quiet.
My meal is WAY too good.
Sun kissed faces,
Everyone is happy.
My favorite vacation.
THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE.
