They tell me there are islands
basking like the carefree
somewhere beneath the sun
but maybe they are fantasies
grown meaningful by need
or a dream past the midnight hour
that disappears at dawn.

And is that island lonely
for the rise and collapse
of peace and tranquillity
or does it level out itself
and remain in constant harmony
with its surroundings?

But I know of no island
not surrounded by the sea
that changes from a state of grace
to one of righteous anger
and so of islands they must be
plain and simply just like me!

Dear Helen don't under estimate your self
for you are not plain. Be more positive
and enjoy what you do have. Love.

Beautiful.. so true..
Sometimes an island`s shorelines change due to storms..
but if the island`s core is granite, it will remain mostly true to itself.
Ahh.. the human experience, hey? What a ride..

Thanks, Amaryllis. "but if the island`s core is granite, it will remain mostly true to itself." Oh, yes indeed, but one has to dig down so very deep to find the core. Most of us give up half way and succumb to the ... storms.

One of my favorites of yours, which are all so precious, dear Helen!

The core can be compared to our soul, which is the strongest ingredient of our being and withstands storms of all kind without damage.

Excellent!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, dear Margherita. Yes, I firmly believe that the soul remains undamaged but of, Helen, no, it's not so. I guess it's not a problem when one considers the impermanence of flesh and bone.

Lots of love
Helen
