ON THE ISLAND

ON THE ISLAND



As I sit outside by the ocean
The future's uncertain, unseen
The sun comes up every morning
The nights filled with sweet dreams;
It sets in a colorful viewing
Promising a time filled with stars
Alone with my dreams on the Island
I rest in my jail with its bars.

I see no way out of the crazy maze
That keeps me tied to this place
And I search for someone to listen
A pair of kind eyes in his face;
The sea offers good company
The fog hides me from view
I search and look and discover
That someone I'm missing is you.

Soon darkness returns with its shadows
The moon winks at my space
Where I sit on my Rock of Ages
Trying to remember your face;
A song brings back a smile
It tells of old loves, first & last
And alone with my dreams on the Island
My future's entwined with my past.
