ISLAND

You come at me and I to you,
Until we meet in a perfectly still space
Our own place, where hearts, minds, bodies
Connect in timeless understanding, for we have been here before.
An island of our own creation,
Away from the world.

You come at me and I to you,
We stand on our island and face a turbulent sea.
I do not want to leave.
Tomorrow, we jump in.
