This Island

I have found a shelter
On a rock upon the sea,
This precious island
Whose songs sang out for me.
My secret refuge
My spirit's answered call
and cry

I have seen the sunlight
Dancing ‘cross the seas
The whisper of the sea breeze
That is sighing in the trees
Leaves with dewdrops glisten
Rainbow stretching high
Across the sky

This island
This refuge
This shelter
This place
Her silence
Her dancing
Her peoples
My home.

Sheltered from the city
Beneath her shades of grey
Peace dissolves the chaos
That once filled my every day
The birds now softly singing
As the ferry’s slowly swaying
Her way home..

I can see her colours
Bathed in khaki green
Houselights gently winking
blinking through the trees
And I'm living with the rising
And the falling of the tides
I've found my home
Here.
