Homesick

Sometimes when trouble like a cloud descends
I feel your warmth and love wash over me
I am buoyed up by hope and
Drown in tenderness and caring

Then
The tide recedes
(As tides and men’s affections are wont to do)
And I am marooned

A lonely emotional sailor
On the long white narrow beach of
Disillusionment

Robinson Crusoe
I’ll be your Girl Friday

I miss your shores
Can we swim back?
Carefree, together
To the island of unbroken dreams, to lie in the sun and drink the ambrosial wine
Of a love,

Still afloat
