The Island In Me Poem by devon da poet

There are coconut trees swaying in my mind.
Beautiful beaches are blistering with sunshine inside of me.
The corals and conch shells are also a part of me.
At night, I’m often bombarded with the ocean breeze.
The banana trees in me always bear a good fruit.
The cocoa and nutmegs teaches me how to survive.
Ivan has taught me how to revive after a disaster.
Every morning I’m awaken by the never ending crowing of the rosters.
The butterflies and beetles have taught me how short life really is.
The birds of the sky still fly around in my mind. They just reminds me of the beauty of life.
Even the green grasses at the side of the streets gives me a reason to carry on.
The rainy days has shown unto me the value of getting out now and again.
The moon light at night has taught me how to fight against the dark clouds.
The laid back sceneries in the city calms the fear in me.
The bougainvillea flowers keeps me forever smiling.
The lakes and rivers are flowing through my veins.
There’s a place I miss so dearly, there’s a place I long to be.
There’s a place that defines me truly, the island in me.
