Rainbow 'round the sun and other desert island fantasies
And so,
while surfers do their seeking
and engines rank their searching,
and servers do their serving
and clicks of mice, some once some twice
cause ebooks to downloading
I spend my days in simple ways
to live a life worth living:
"I find a place of constant sun
and simply lie there baking..."
Now here's something I don't believe I've seen before....While sitting in the noon-day sun soaking in the rays at a favorite hideaway on island, I look up and see a rainbow 'round the sun!
The unique mix of clouds and moisture and whatever else created a "not your typical rainbow" right above my head--one that formed a ring around the blazing sun...pretty cool...Hope you can make out the ring in the picture....
"Or roam a while this desert isle
like Hanks, Crusoe or Perrineau"
Then yesterday, while sunning again near Wing Beach, I look around and realize (and this isn't the first time I've noticed this) that because of the population and lifestyle here on Saipan, it's not unusual to be on certain beaches on a given day for hours at a time, and not run into a single soul. You can almost convince yourself you're all alone on a deserted island, evoking images from Castaway, that movie with Tom Hanks....
"Or better still, enjoy the thrill
with others of my choosing"
But, of course, there are people on the island...so, one could venture inland, and return later to enjoy the tranquility and treasures with someone you enjoy being with.
