An Island

An island
Detached, disconnected, isolated
Gently trespassed upon by tentative feet
Caressed by passing winds
Enchanted by the dazzling Milky Way
A bit-o-honey for the undernourished soul
Tenuous waters
Lap against my shore
Greet, retreat, abandon
An island
Am I

  4. LOVE this….like Helen, I wanted to be there on this island! And then . . . I am the island! This reminds me of the idea that we can be alone without being lonely. In fact, some times it is a blessing to be an island!

  7. What exquisite imagery! Your island metaphor transforms isolation into something almost sacred. The gentle rhythm and evocative phrases like ‘bit-o-honey for the undernourished soul’ create genuine emotional depth.
