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.
