Waters lay smooth
like polished marble
reflected lights of skies above.
what lies below will grow
and at some point
break through
as it is born to fulfill its destiny
and nothing short of dying
can change this fact.
Reaching through to air
breathing
living
An island among nothing
yet in and of itself
so very beautiful
for the strength and tenacity
as it held firm through each storm
and stood alone proud,
Unafraid to be itself,
To be all it was meant to be.
