Just look at what the sun is bringing forth...
As many of us shelter in solitude,Or cling together in personal situ,
Last month's promise of sunshine
Is unwrapping the way.
This is Farley Hill National Park In Barbados.
The 1818 mansion, setting for
Movie Island in the Sun, burned
The year I graduated from university.
It's perched atop a hill, overlooking
Both the Atlantic to the East
And the Caribbean to the West.
I think we all would like to
See life with a 360° perspective...
Only maybe we'd like our degrees
To be time-stamped.
This sun-drenched garden,
Glimpsed through long-abandoned windows,
Offers us all reminder
Of the sun's arc of promise.
And of Nature's determination
To renew...
To persist...
...
In the meantime, my friends,
I'll be watching from my balcony...
and thinking of you.
