To My Safe Haven



To My Safe Haven
By: Jenny-Ann Belarmino

When you're back
Let's watch the stars again,
Guess the shapes; and
Tell stories.

When you're back
Let's watch the sea waves,
Feel the sea breeze; and
Be filled with the sands.

When you're back
Let's catch fireflies,
Hide them between our hands holding
Feeling the warm from it.

When you're back
Let's explore more of the island
See the wonders of greeny scape
And capture more wonderful creatures.

When you're back
Let's hug more,
Kiss more,
Talk more,
Laugh more,
To infinity.
