Shards of sky grasped by shivering Palms
First star pierces blue-grey twilight
Thin trunks sway with elastic rhythm
A howling crescendo
Cuts through velvet black
Tent shells rattle and resound
Come morning
Trade winds roll on the backs of breakers
Erratic gusts fling up sheets of spray
Countless beads of liquid reflect
A fleeting flash, a heartbeat
A rainbow shattering into the sea

14th -24th June 2015: a truly amazing journey - kayaking, camping and snorkeling our way along the Yasawa Island chain in Fiji. Thanks Mum, Dad, Judd, Aporosa, Wanita and Terry!
