Afloat On A Sea of Consciousness


 

Each of us is an island

afloat on a sea of consciousness

surrounded by other islands

remote, isolated to wend our way

through the channels of life.

There are ships that occasionally

hove into view, a passenger

debarks to join us in an

empathy of togetherness.

Two islands floating in a tandem

of emotional need. In time the

islands approach a shoal

leaving one marooned while

the other moves on. Alone again.

Time and the tides are eternal.

We as unique islands are not.
