My Isle

crystal sea
light and life
my ship sunk
shipwrecked
on the isle of you
what would I take
to my desert isle?
I need nothing!
always always always
voices floating on the wind
like a windstorm
swept away by you
never to return
I've a new home now
no letters spelled in stones on sand
I need no "help"
just my dreams of you
and what dreams they are!
forever beating in my heart
this isle of peace
is where I am meant to be
my soul reaching for yours
echoes on still waters
no more storms
though I would not fear them
those times are over
long, long gone from here
my isle
vast openness greets me
and I see it
as possibility
