Poem Inspired

Dos D'ane Pond

Narrow winding tracks

Clouds covering hills

Cascading water over cliffs

Carving chasms.

Welcome Home

Gazing through the aeroplane window as it descends over the pristine island of St. Kitts... taking memory shots with the view finder of my eyes and storing them in my mind's memory bank. The peaks of Nevis jutted behind the hills of Bird Rock...

As I exited the craft, a waft of fresh crisp breeze greeted me, complimented with warm tender kisses from SK sun...

I journeyed to the country side, evoking childhood memories as I gazed at the Mount Liamuiga.... and the surroundings. Dense patches of tamarind trees draped with its fruits and mango tress bedecked with blossoms. Coconut trees extending their necks to the gleaming sky.

I arrived to my destination... the country side; Grove Village, the yard. The breeze was dancing across my face; the fragrance of ripe guavas and mangoes were teasing my sense of taste, the ripened custard apples punctuated the medley. 

Birds weaved from trees to trees with remnants of dry grass to construct their homes. I observed keenly as they teamwork to add their straws.

The fence, was dressed in vibrant green which was spotted with white flowers with purple protrusions and frills. There were wax green and yellow fruits of bells. The bees danced from flower to flower...

Its amazing, when you are welcome home.

I retired for the night with the symphonic tunes from the night's orchestra. The band of crickets and whistling frogs. The light drumming of raindrops on the roof; shuffling from the breeze in the trees.

At the crack of dawn I was awaken by the boisterous clamour from the cocks and the early gossiping of the hens. I stepped outside, the soft grass tickled my toes and rubbed against my ankles. A friendly mosquito stopped by and gave me a french kiss on my leg. In the east, the rolling hills seemed ablaze with fire from the rising sun.  Mount Liamuiga appeared to be removing her fluffy hat and welcoming the warm hugs from the sun. The breeze slanted through the leaves; tree lizards exposed as they observed their surroundings.

It was just another day in paradise....complimented with  a visit from Reets!
