a palm tree 

a royal guard 

of tropical oceans and beaches 

looks down upon the grains of sand 

like an emperor 

look on his empire 

brand new wave throws me back and forth 

and tends to grip me 

as the metallic dolphin 

carefully darts out of any obstacle 

that might be in her way 

the red sun breathes life into all creation 

under these palm trees 

i can't find the air 

wonder if you can or ever will
