I live on an island.
So quiet.
Where I can see the ocean.
Everyday breathe it's life.
When the sea is angry.
I can feel the spray hit my cheek.
And when the tide is calm.
I can feel the surf.
When it's misty.
Early in the morning.
I can see shadows of the strait.
Where islands loom in shroud.
And when it's raining.
I can look out my window.
And see the billions.
Of tiny raindrops.
Mix with their mother.
Into a swirling mass.
For my middle name is Michelle.
And I'm the island girl.
Who loves the island.
