Bermuda mesmerizes.
Breeze ruffles tall grass,
erases footsteps.
Timeworn calcarenites protrude,
seaside sentinels
revealed in low tide glory.
I stand gazing.
And somehow
in this raw natural place,
understanding dawns.
You are with me,
my forever love.

Oh, lovely place. The description of “seaside sentinels” is wonderful and also leaves me to wonder just enough just who is “understanding dawns”, you the visitor, or the ones ever standing watch.
