The Bauhinia, a bride in the sunset's embrace
As the beautiful shadows in the waves, my soul they trace
I long to be a coral, in the waves aloft
The rain-kissed beach, its waters so clear
A rainbow's reflection, a dream ever so dear
Enveloped in seaweed, a dream takes flight
Iridescent and fleeting, a vision of delight
Shall I seek my dreams, upon the open sea?
Raise the sails, and to the island's beauty, set me free
The starlight, it sings in warm embrace
The summer insects, they add their own melody
My heart filled with the wonders that here reside
A vision of grace, a story to tell
The shadows in the waves, they dance and play
Rippling reflections, in my soul they sway
A fleeting beauty, a heart to be borne
The sails raised high, to the island's beauty, set me free
A symphony of splendor, in this early summer's grace
Weaving a tapestry of beauty, that shall not wane
For in this moment, I have been truly blessed
I find solace in the wonders that stir my heart
The Bauhinia, the waves, the seaweed's sway
The rain-kissed beach, the rainbow's play
All a testament to the fleeting, the true
A beauty that lingers, forever bound to you
I left quietly, just like when I came
Waving farewell to the waves, my heart all the same

Postscript:
As the final words of this ode to the beauty of the natural world fade, a profound sense of appreciation and wonder lingers. The tapestry of images we have experienced - the Bauhinia bride, the dancing shadows in the waves, the siren call of the swaying seaweed - have all served to remind us of the profound beauty that surrounds us, if only we take the time to truly see it. In this fleeting moment, we have been transported to a realm where the rain-kissed beach, the iridescent dreams, and the symphony of summer insects come together in a grand celebration of life's transient splendor. And while we must eventually depart, we are left with the knowledge that the essence of this beauty will forever be etched in our hearts, a treasure to be cherished long after the final curtain falls.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
