I would be your island
thrust high and steadfast strong
between the sift and surge of restless seas
and cloud crowded shifting skies
I would be your island
with crags and cliffs to challenge you
and soft sands to sigh and bask and lie
in drifts of sweet grass along the dunes
I would be your island
and hidden deep within the hinterland
lace the fertile vales with tender herbs
to tempt and tease and feed and find
I would be your island
with high hills to climb and clamber
and secret verdant valleys tucked away
replete with towering woods and flowers wild
Yes, I would be your island
as you are mine.
