SARONG GIRL

Creature of earth, sea, star, sun
bronzed your skin as one
who plays on ocean's shore,
with sky as blue as waves
gently splashing your feet
as you slowly walk the beach -
cool, the breezes from the sea
that play with your long black hair
while refreshing your face,
features well befitting your race
of long years Nature so formed,
to a happy, warm people you belong
blissfully far removed from our
civilization full of hustle, bustle, strife,
may your innocent happiness last a long time
as you enjoy the blessings of the starry night,
the earth, the sea, and the sun.
