• Deserted peaceful island
    Chained up
    To the rest of the world
    Yet distant

    Gentle sea breeze
    Whistling playfully
    Almost tasting
    Dancing through you

    Seabirds call
    Squawking, squealing
    Singing
    An unusual lullaby

    The water
    Turquoise diamonds
    Delicate waves of life
    Lapping at your feet

    In and out
    Climbing and falling
    Spirits of our fallen
    Still keeping rhythm

    Salty essence
    Filling my senses
    One with the water
    Reaching out

    Majestic ocean
    Sparkling lightly
    Like the stars and the moon
    Often visitors

    They visit what's ours
    Reflect off the surface
    Magical
    A midnight mirror

    Like any Aussie beach
    You are, a giver of life
    Giver of happiness
    But also a consumer

    Deserted peaceful island
    Chained up
    To the rest of the world
    Yet distant
