When I close my eyes, I can still see
the perfectly unbroken blue sky
and I can still feel the peace
and tranquillity that I felt within
as I sat looking out at the breathtaking view
of the calming and hypnotic waves of the paradise sea...
I can still recall how lucky I felt
to be where I was, with whom I was with,
as we enjoyed the energy
of the moments of stillness -
as we all experienced the sensation
of falling into a trance,
as we listened to the music of the DJ
who seemed to know exactly
what songs to play
and when to play them
and who you could tell from
the smile on their face
knew that they had the best job,
in the best place,
and with one of the best views on Earth
there could ever be...
I can still see the sunlight
sparkling off the spinning mirrored balls...
I can still feel the tender touch of the ocean breeze...
I can still remember what I was thinking
and who I wished were with me,
where I was, so that they, too,
could share what I was feeling with me
that felt more dreamlike
and heavenly than pictures could ever show -
that was what I saw,
that was what I felt,
that was what I can still see
and relive within my mind
when I close my eyes
and I think about my time
on the island of Ibiza,
at the world famous Café Mambo.
