Just got back to Canada and happy I brought this with me from La Manzanilla. Hope it gets me through until I return.
My Souvenir
I gathered sunshine in a jar
some drops of salty sea spun spray
with cushion clouds caught from afar
a pinch of beach warmed by the day
A balmy breeze and bird-song sweet
floral fragrance all held within
I sealed the vessel now complete
a souvenir of where I'd been
When I return to colder climes
of frosty morn' and nippy night
I'll think of tranquil tropic times
perhaps remove the lid I might
To feel the sand between my toes
the ocean mist caress my face
bask in the glow the sun bestows
dream on a cloud back to that place
Where warming winds blend with a song
and perfumed petals float the air
I'll close my eyes and then be gone
to paradise without a care
