Our day out.

Our days are usually spent
hard at work.
The garden, construction, art and craft,
together with the daily cycle
of domestic dalliance,
tells of a life that is full and fruitful,
rewarding but structured.

Which is why, when we get the chance,
we run away to spend a day
together,
just us two.
Saturday found us here, at Levera Beach,
looking out at Sugarloaf Island.
T was feeling the heat,
a momentary diversion
from our island tour,
a need for sand and sea water
and sun on my skin.
He indulged me,
stoically,
sustained by the promise of a soon to come
ice cold Carib.

Driftwood of magnitude
lay brazen
by the shore,
whilst the island chain of the Grenadines,
seemingly strung
a little closer than usual,
invited and dared,
come visit, come see.
