The Island
Allegory - Absent Love

This item accepts reviews only.
                                       There I sat, stranded, on the shore
                                       It was a small island
                                       I walked the circumference daily
                                       Fate had landed me there

                                       Thinking of the years on the sea
                                       Turbulence and high winds
                                       A life seeking but not finding
                                       Giving up then finding

                                       Shipwrecked … alone with happiness
                                       Like a boyhood Christmas
                                       The unexpected within life
                                       A strange place to find it

                                       Lost- but here the discoveries
                                       Never needing a thing
                                       Solitary and strong alone
                                       No person or item

                                       But here is where I found my need
                                       And while there it was filled
                                       A new experience- needing
                                       Independence turned life

                                       Mystery of the sovereignty-
                                       Control over nothing
                                       Strength buckled under need
                                       Need that gave life meaning

                                       I loved my need of this beauty
                                       I loved that I needed
                                       And I never wanted to leave
                                       I cried when the time came

                                       Now I sit alone in my home
                                       Here I think of my need
                                       The shore- my island far removed
                                       The happiness is gone
