the water and the sand
as pristine as our love
one with nature
as with each other
our arms taut, hands clasped
walking against the wind
tendrils of air
kissing our smiles gently
a new, tender love
basking in this place of peace
willingly embracing the gift
of unrestrained joy
this secluded nirvana
a place from our dreams
heaven on earth
truly we found our paradise
shades of white, blue and green
etched into the fiber of our beings
if only we could stop time
an eternity here seemed not long enough
