The Island

No man alone an island: we
Stand circled with a lapping sea.
I break the ring and let you go:
Above my head the waters flow.
 
Look inward, love, and no more sea,
No death, no change, eternity
Lapped round us like a crystal wall
To island, and that island all.
 
    Jean Jay Macpherson  - canadian poet  (1931 -  2012)
