i, an island

i am an island
the wind is my best friend
whispering news of far lands in my ears.
the sea is my lover
singing hymns of promise of forever.
the trees are my knights
guarding me to safety and security.
the flowers are my dames
amusing my solitary existence.
the birds are my constant guests
lodging in my trees for a night’s rest.
the sky is my shelter
lighting my path in dark hours.


i am an island
my best friend has joined other winds
passed me by without a glance.
scampering fast, my lover has departed
singing a song of rage and atrocity.
my knights had fallen in battle
bowing their heads in defeat.
tired of enthralling, my dames had
fled and drowned in my lover’s cry.
to a peaceful soil my guests had ran
in search of better refuge.
my shelter has crumpled down
sending needles of spears into my heart.


i cried from pain, yet
i cannot move
i cannot move-
still an island.

I do not know if you’ve ever skilled it, but because you have a internet site with lots of content material I can assume that you invest at least a few hours every day on the personal computer. I hope you are not already suffering with back pain or sciatica, in which case I suggest you get started positioning your workspace a lot more ergonomically and learn about back well being and safety to stop injuries! There aren’t several sciatica treatments that function without resorting to dangerours surgeries like the one particular discectemy I was close to have in September!
