"All I Need"

Naked, alone, afraid.

Open to the harsh winds of an

Island in the middle

Of a desolate sea.

Shaken to the core,

No safe harbor

Winds slicing through ideals;

Beliefs.

“What do you want,

What do you need?”

They whisper,

I shudder.

Alone.

Without a light to guide

Empty.

Without a soul.

Deep inside I wish to rise

To sail away from the island

Of naked fear and solitude

For all I need, and this is true:

A life to share with you.
