Scarlet's Poetry Den "The Early Years"

Island (Listen to the poem in RealAudio G2)

walking along a rocky shore
I must watch my feet
carefully
the rocks are many
I must look down
so I do not fall
I cannot look up
to see the clear, bright sky
pppI must not fall

later
sitting on a small island of rocks
I am alone
I can look up
I can see around me
I can see the sky
but my feet got wet
on the way
