Island Memories

Listening to a medley of Jimmy Buffet and the Beach Boys
I find myself growing nostalgic for Pacific Island beaches
As my mind reaches for memories of far-off and exotic locales
Remembering how the mostly pristine jungles caressed the lagoons
With my taste buds yearning for fresh grilled tuna and mahi mahi
Complimented by mango salsa and some refreshing coconut juice
Followed by a relaxing hammock nap next to the one I love
And to think that we were there living in a virtual Eden
Of green, lush jungles, sandy beaches and blue lagoons
A paradise that most people only dream of visiting
And where we visit now through nostalgic memories
Prompted by Jimmy Buffet and Beach Boys music . . .
