Islands - May 28, 2000

In a sea of humanity
we are lonely islands
where the waves
of emotion
wash along the shore.

Through the ages
the archipelagoes
rise from
the ocean floor -
connected by circumstance
and birth
but apart yet the same.

And even though
fisherman may
occasionally stop,
none make their home
on the island,
for both distance
and irrelevance
separate it from the others.
