island

you are the island i
   come to for safety.
the island i
   come to for hope.

home of calm nights
   & brilliant days;
waving palm trees,
   sensuous hills.

the secret source of
   compassion.

my sunken ship of
   exploration
has entered your
   lagoon.

naked, i am swimming
   across infinity.
clothed in transforming fire
   you are walking along
the shore.

my heart is washed up on
   the beach,
you take it in your
   hands.

the sun blossoms.
   the moon beams.
the island lifts out
   of the water &
above the sky.
