Island of One

Dreaming of past gills: Quiet galaxy around Bubbles hold my life... Schools of shadows swim... I am not an alien here Mermaids do exist... Ecolocation Travels finding your soul near - Coral in exile... My fins caress you... A stranger in your roughness So suffocating... Tsunamis of Soul Reminding me of my lungs... Refusing to drown... Shipwrecked but alive Secrets buried under blue I KNOW I'll be LOVED!

Iolanda, This choka is full of imagery and emotion. You know, just last night we were watching a National Geographic film about underwater life...especially beautiful, was the coral. So. Naturally, my mind really went on a vista with your words. Nicely emotional. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
