my island
lay close
to yours
both undisturbed
both visited
by common birds
we rest
when water’s calm
we protect
throughout
the storms
i see my reflection
in you
i feel
the pain
you go through
trust
that
i can hear you
trust
that
i’ll always be
near
you feel alone
yet only
a stone’s throw away
i will
not float off
nor stray
trust
in me
as i
shall in you
so close
yet apart
we share
this common space
we share
a souls embrace
