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
