aruba, my life in film
Camera Action!
baby blue sky
cotton ball clouds
randomly tossed into
sky meeting
azure waters
in the distance
lens closing in slowly to
sun glistened waters
closer now to
shallow
pale waters
gentle lapping lapping
with gentle breeze
upon cream coloured sand
panning slowly to the right along
shore
to
pathway of footsteps
large jumbled with small
intertwined with tiny footsteps
pan slowly away from
footsteps
away from
waters shore
to
flora
on the right
cacti and succulents
single palm tree
leaves waving in the breeze
divi divi bent by
sound always in the air
caribbean trade winds
breezes of aruba
mix of water
moving flora
quiet steady soothing
breaths of sound
panning back to
footprints in the sand
dancing perhaps?
and true laughter
mingled tones of it
in the distance
two figures
scene grows larger clearer as lens closes in on
something small
moving on the sand
at their feet
ever so slightly
engaged
in some activity
clear now
a woman a man
and a tiny figure
on the sand
a child
tousle of blond hair
camera pans to
small hand
with pink plastic
shell-shaped scoop
working with
determined concentration
to build
some imaginary
castle in the sand…

Oranjestad - In the last months, the Customs agents at the Airport in Aruba have intercepted many tourists who are returning home with seashells, beach sand, or corals.
We want all the next generations and our tourists to enjoy our beaches, seashells, and corals.
Let us protect our nature.
