Not one canoe to fish the seas

The dawn is breaking
Waking the birds in the roost
Time to rise and fly
In bird island by the sea
Early birds catch the best worms

Marshes blush in soft pastels,
Spring whispers low.

Day ends in a gentle sigh.

Ocean Swell

A drink of ocean water champagne
blossoms out going pleasure
evoke swells of glorious dances
releasing island songs in the air alive

Isolated

Beautiful but sad

Too vast yet little

My wings have been seized

By this lonely and quiet island

A beauty in it's own mystery
