|
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 cry 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
|
Island join hands
|
'Neath heaven's sea.
|
|
Dark harbor quays like fingers of stone
|
hungrily reach from my island.
|
Clutch sailors'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
