Everywhere we carried it. In the synchronicity of smiles, in sand between wet toes and dry toes, in the sparkling clear water of Grand Anse; an ocean span from home. It was light, it was bubbly, it was heady, it was exciting, it was blissful. Yes we carried it, holding it between each of our hearts. Our love. Sometimes the jealous sunshine can drive lovers to huddle in the shade of sea grape trees.

Oh Gillena, thank you for starting my day with the wonderful sea grape trees and the lovely frangipani. I can feel the wet sand and the soft breezes. It used to be that way here, although more sea oats than frangipani, but now the beach is filled with tourists on a mission instead of carefree smiles. Throw the grackles some treats. Blessings to you.
Thanks for your appreciation Judie

Such a wonderful place, oceans away I can still feel the sands on my feet.
Mmmm...I wish I was there now. I'd even forgive the jealous sun a little after this February cold.
Sounds heavenly, Gillena!💝 I would love to "huddle in the shade of sea grape trees."😃

A lovely take on how to carry love. Great job😊
A beautiful write … and the path to the beach sounds romantic.
I did the same thing in my haibun--wrote the prose in past tense--so, I guess, I should forgive you, lol!
Thank you for the visual tour.
I really enjoyed this Gillena, thank you! Oh those loops of life!!!

Happy to indulge a minor variation in such a wonderful haibun!
Now I want to cast upon sea grapes trees and look forward to the fragrances of the Fragipani. I'm not familiar but willing to learn more about them.
That is one of the problems of getting older having memories of our younger days when life was so complete and enjoyable.

A beautiful haibun to linger over.
Lovely. Beautifully expressed, no matter what tense. It's your work; you write as you feel. That's all that we need.
