One day as I was surfing, I was carried to a shore Onto a lovely island With so much to explore At first a little timid I hid myself from sight And watched the natives from afar (Afraid that they might bite!) The great and fearless chief (Ron) As kind as he was wise, Stood guard off in the distance With a vision in his eyes I studied all their rituals And learned to speak their tongue So thirsty for the passion shared Between the old and young. Hungering to join them, Starving to belong, I wandered to their welcome fire And sang their tribal song Such emotion filled the air! Until the day was done, Chanting with a single voice Thousands, though as one And though I tend to drift away To other foreign places, I always float back with the tide To these familiar faces This island is my haven, A home without a wall, Where I can visit anytime Encircled by them all! “A home without a wall, Our haven without ends, A circle we all call Our Family of Friends!” |

I would confidently predict that you are not alone in your affection. A warm and generous poem. |

yes, me too! Though, it took the tide a rather long time to float me back  And though I tend to drift away To other foreign places, I always float back with the tide To these familiar faces |

Though a repost, it is new to me. Absolutely! This is a friendly place and we don't bite. Well, some of that has been known to happen. The Blue Room has been going through a slowing period for the past months, but I know it will rebound with poets like you to come back. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank-you everyone! I wrote this and posted it here in Pip many years ago. I have always loved this place, and the support from fellow writers here has been invaluable. I have popped in and out over the years to read others work and to check out the poetry that I posted myself here so long ago! |
