Island sunset

 

Somewhere in the Pacific

I know, there is an island –

Where you and I are watching

Eternal sunsets

In skies of gold –

Where tropic birds fly

And there is no more land ahead

To disturb the shimmering seas

 

Here, you and I

Have evolved beyond ourselves

We have gone back

To primitive lands

That we become advanced

Ahead of time

Eden smiles, she reveals Herself

In unfulfilled colours

 

We hold hands.

There is no need for words

Just the salt of dried-up tears

And the warmth of existence

There is no rush

For the sunsets are forever

And we get that one chance

To smile what we never said.

 

But somewhere a whale breaches -

Not just the fabric of space

But the essence of the stars

Night begins to emerge

We wonder, was there ever a sunset?

Were there even ourselves?

Perhaps, only an island

Drifting farther and farther away…
