Islands

"Pain is a lonely island"
And I see some from afar
Through a scope, from my own
Upon the same star

We all must swim alone
In our ocean's trail

But
If I wipe the salt from my eyes
I can see a sun, every morning
RISE!
And 
If I hold real still
I can feel the resonance of His presence
Sustaining acceptance
If
I can forget how cold my hands
I can feel how warm my heart
For the ocean is a Kingdom of Dance
Not separate but apart

The treasures of the heart,
The wafts of old romance
Lift from the shore forlorn
They beckon in their call
To trade the swim for dance
And in the morn: reborn!
