The Island

An island on an island surrounded by the cares of the world;

The waves of life crashes about this scared little girl.

Tides high and low torment this illustrious existence.

With sails battered and bruised she ceases putting up a resistance.

The waters cover her three times over and yet she still breathes.

A stowaway she likens the beating of her heart.

Castaway from the illusion of happiness as she awaits love’s magical start.

Her tears of disappointment rides the waves like pure salt foam.

This island has lost its edge she yearns for the way home.

It is on this island on island she has found the treasure she set out to seek.

She has found herself amongst the shipwreck and amongst the powerful weak.
