early .. predawn
sun below horizon
low tides coming in
gentle waves overlap
caressing undisturbed sand
coconuts fall
lands .. rolls to a ridge
milk inside .. sloshing
coarse fibers spring loose
clinging .. outside of shell
blue marlin grander
rips through the surface
ocean's crest quickly opens
pointed nose .. fins are spread
sails through air .. shakes wildly
macaws scream .. echoes
palm trees sway .. bend
exotic wind picks up
monkees scamper
snatching fallen coconuts
schools of fish can be viewed
feeding .. not far away
all is very quiet
sun rises slowly
golden hued sky
her petite footprints
casually disappear
low tides .. depart
she wears not a stitch
collecting seashells
island's mistress
