My Girl

 On an Island

Where sunsets are far more beautiful

Than all the scenery of earth

I stand here alone with my girl

I stand frozen

As she walks down the beach

Brown hair flying in the afternoon wind

Never stops to move me

We sit down

And watch the blue waves rush

As the water touches our feet

And calms us

We look up to the sky

Where the sun falls

And changes the blue sky to orange

Just to switch the mood

She taps my shoulder

With her silk soft finger

And motions for me

To get up

We walk into the forest

Where all the pine trees grow

And go to the houses, which we have made

For any traveler that may get stranded

She looks at me,

With eyes that are bluer than the ocean

She smiles.

As we go our separate ways

For the night
