Being a snowbird
I had a little break from blogging having just enjoyed a much needed break in the sun. I got away from the demands of work, the iPad, blogging and twitter too! Quite the achievement really. What I didn't get away from however were boobs. A week in the sun they are everywhere. There were big ones, small ones, pert ones, pink, white and brown ones...and yes you are right that was just the men! So I figured my asymmetrical ones were not going to be noticed by anyone .... I therefore relaxed and stopped fretting. So i haven't had time for a long blog so I wrote a wee poem....ahem!
So the snowbirds land
Flying low across resting volcanoes
To the land of black rocks
And glistening sea
To the cacti of comedic shapes
And palms providing a green break from the ash
They are young and old
Attracted by the sun and light
For promises of happiness
Some of it measured in hours
Their relationships restored by time
For storytelling and creation of new shared memories
And so they stay
Some for weeks , bronzing and
Creating a rhythm to their stay
Punctuated by unrushed walks
And meals slowly savoured
Others like us dip in
For a brief stop
Carefully absorbing the restorative sun and light
Time for rest , reading and contemplation
Storing peace and preparing ourselves
For what lies ahead.
