Palms sway, stealing fame from the sunset itself; tropical leaves lead the way to the surf and the shells. The signature landmarks naturally announce "welcome to your getaway," beckoning you to forever stay, where romance whispers and dreams play. Poem and images ©LauraDenise
The water remembers. That is a characteristic of one of the 5 elements of nature in the movie Frozen 2, which I recently watched with my daughter.
