Sail to the Isles

Rain!
A torrent of feeling
Crashed down.
The sky splits open,
The world is a swirling storm.

But wait…
From the heart of the blackness,
A spark,
A light,
Pushing through.

A sail!
Through the storm’s fury,
Hope glides in.
Reaching, reaching
Through the waves of rage.
The ship,
A vessel of promise,
Fighting for daylight.

Sailing!
Cutting through,
Across the dark water.
Towards a distant horizon,
The unseen land…

An island of truth.

It’s the moment we all wait for...
When we look beyond the chaos
And find...
A glimmer of peace.
The storm is fading!

The Isles!
