I have returned from eight relaxing and rejuvenating days in Long Island, Bahamas. Three of us stayed at a secluded home in Thompson Bay. Each day we visited a different beach and enjoyed local cuisine including fresh lobster. We were completely off grid with no phones and occasionally we could access wi-fi. The days floated by into blissful nights. I have a passion for sunsets and captured several breathtaking photos on my trip. I also wrote several poems - and here is my favorite written after we saw an angel in the night sky and a falling star.

Night Angel

The breeze blowing softly

Waves colliding at dusk

Looking up I see

as the sun disappears

a sweet, gentle, yet fierce..,

Night Angel, swaying in the clouds,

offering...

Comfort, Peace, and Calm

Protecting my heart

Caressing my soul

Sparking my courage

Soothing my heart.

Gone in a flash.

But remembrance holds on.

I wonder for an instant.

Then a Falling Star reassures.

Message received.

I am not alone.

I am loved. I am cherished.

Free to be me.

The warmth in my heart

spreads slowly through my body,

Love radiates out

Encompassing, Encircling,

Widening its reach.

I am connected to all,

To myself, and to God.

Complete, whole, and awed

at the simplicity, and the beauty

of it all.

Love and Blessings,

Sheri
