Serene Shores
“A kiss on the beach when there is a full moon is the closest thing to heaven.”
H. Jackson Brown Jr
An Ode to St Croix
A gentle breeze across the sand
The salty air, the sea’s embrace
The swaying trees in measured grace
A tranquil touch, a soothing hand
Bright birds soar high above the shore
Their wings aglow in morning light
They dip and weave, a graceful sight
Then vanish through the sky once more
The waters gleam with hints of gold
They stretch beyond the distant ships
As soft waves kiss the sunlit strips
Of sandy shores where dreams unfold
The warmth sinks deep into your skin
An easy joy that fills the air
The island blooms beyond compare
As every heart finds peace within
In paradise, the world seems still
Beneath a sky so wide and blue
Where dreams and gentle breezes too
Will wander freely as they will
This isle, a song of light and breeze
In every wave, a soft refrain
A place where joy and calm remain—
Perfect mornings, and nights of ease!

In March 2020, I took on a job in St Croix and for 18 months we lived in Paradise. Sadly, The EPA shuttered the refinery, and we had to go back in 2021. RELUCTANTLY!
