Song to an Island—by William Helms

 Listen to the darkened airy tumble

                                         of laughter 

                                  whistling from 

                                 a far off-shore.


                                    breathe in joy

                     from children playing

                       just down the road.


                            Welcome silence

                     as a beautiful friend.

      Be kind to the freezing waters.

    Befriend the rumbling storm.

  Say goodbye before it starts,

And pretend you never knew it was going to end.
