Islands

Submitted by Rosewood Apothecary on Tue, 2022-08-23 06:36

You may be an island all alone
in a tumultuous, unforgiving ocean
If that's true,
you're also a mountain
refusing to yield
to the unrelenting sea.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Deeply thoughtful piece! The 'mountain', 'Ocean', 'Sea', this is a strong imagery!

Even though one may be alone, they are still strong! Great job!
