As Trade Winds Sing

Write a Rondeau Contest Winner
As tradewinds sing through silken air and palm fronds whisper softest prayer, by ocean’s pounding, frothy blue on soft-spun sand, I smile at you, and slide my fingers through your hair. We dive down deep for corals rare; fluorescent fish are hiding there and sea-weed sways like tall bamboo as tradewinds sing. We play, as children … such a pair. Like ocean’s deep - our love affair sustains us till this day’s adieu. I cast your ashes high into the swirling skies, and two hearts tear - as tradewinds sing. |

please pronounce "adieu" in the Westernized version, i.e. ad-YOO, not the French language pronunciation. :)
