AWAY FROM IT ALL


  Life as I know it left far behind, stored quietly,


  Kept in my mind somewhere but not forgotten.


  On an island, one of many seen by these eyes,


  Waves crashing on the beach for me to see.


  Sitting here in the sand just thinking about,


  There are sounds heard but only of nature.


  Palm trees are many in this world, across the sea,


  What's needed only brought with me, only needed.


   Away from it all is where I need to be, can you dream, 


   On  an island of wishes and a man's fantasy.
