Waves sweep the sand from my island.<br />
My sunsets fade.<br />
Field and glade wait only for rain<br />
Grain after grain love erodes my<br />
High weathered walls which fend off the tide<br />
Cradle the wind<br />
to my island.<br />
<br />
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide<br />
Mournfully glide o'er my island.<br />
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale,<br />
Dissolves in the sun.<br />
Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run<br />
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes<br />
Violet skies<br />
Touch my island,<br />
Touch me.<br />
<br />
Beneath the wind turned wave<br />
Infinite peace<br />
Islands join hands<br />
'Neathe heaven's sea.<br />
<br />
Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone<br />
Hungrily reach from my island.<br />
Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds<br />
Are strewn on my shore.<br />
Equal in love, bound in circles.<br />
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea<br />
Waves sweep sand from my island,<br />
from me.
