The Rhythm Of The Caribbean Sea

The music of ebb and flow

The soca and calypso

Boats shiver with goose bumps

With anchored chains

Yachts rowing away

Along ports licking the land

The hulls cast shadows on the thirsty lands

The archipelagos mirror a greenish chain

Of mountains and volcanoes

The zouk and ringbang

The sounds of the bands

The dub and reggae

Good music to hear

And when the day breaks

The music of J’ouvert

The tabla

The waves displaying drama

The greenish blue water sparkles

With every breeze the whisper of a melody

With every gust the quarrel of chants

The saliva of the islets on the sands

The tune of the water world

A musical concert beneath seagulls

With musical notes from beaches

The grasslands of greenish blue waters

Hum the hymns of the necklace of archipelagos

Like steelband and chutney

Rhythm of the Caribbean Sea
