Islands

Earth, stream and tree
Encircled by sea
Waves sweep the sand
From my island
My sunsets fade
Field and glade
Wait only for rain
Grain after grain
Love erodes my
High weathered walls
Which fend off the tide
Cradle the wind
To my island

Gaunt granite climbs
Where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island
My dawn bride's veil
Damp and pale
Dissolves in the sun
Love's web is spun
Cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars
Where owls know my eyes
Violet skies
Touch my island
Touch me

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neath heaven's sea

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neath heaven's sea

Dark harbour quays
Like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach
From my island
Clutch sailor's words
Pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore
Equal in love
Bound in circles
Earth, stream and tree
Return to the sea
Waves sweep the sand
From my island
From me

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neath heaven's sea
