****** *** if I were your island would you visit me? is it that I seem far off distant, a little isolated... could you brave the distance, would you be my sea? we might crash into each other say hello over and over get to know one another... I know I've been a loner I've always been a bit shy but I wouldn't be lonely if you ventured on by if you enveloped me in your current came a little closer... don't you see how I am thirsty? I like your music there is richness a tempting succulence a tender wildness in your voice betraying the rhythms of your secret heart I could be your captive while your ocean murmurs long-long stream-lets of words a lullaby of language a symphony resurgent * a reef surrounds me its not a moat its a bit jagged maybe even seeming somewhat distant, far-far away I may be worn down in many places yet there's lots of spaces where the reef walls have broken down I see how your tides are wild and crashing you see how I am restless your currents are strong I'd like to test them I long to feel your spirit racing towards me feeling you wash over me oh... I have been lonely I know I've been an island, mostly but you are so brave brave enough to come the distance to see the island made of me my shores are soft see the sands are cool I am inviting... if I said to you I can be your island would you travel the distance I'd like be your harbor you could anchor at my shoreline you could be my bay surround me with your sea. ********** ******* **** ** * written April 1 2015 7:15am PST I listen to the sound of ocean waves at night so maybe this is where this has come from For B.
