Island One and Island Two

May 08, 2017 by Annabel Hawkins

You are two islands -

One that feels like paradise:
you, languid in the hammock of your own dreams.

The other is just off the course of where you are:
you can hear the music playing but you can’t quite get to the party.

There is aloneness
and then there is just alone.

To get one
you have to cross the bridge from the other.
