I am an island.

I am an island
full of contrasts
from steep menacing cliffs
to gentle green hills.
I am the island´s one volcano
at times ready to erupt
with raging avenging fury
when provoked.
A am also the sheltered harbour
with welcoming arms outstreched
givimg comfort and care
to those in need.
I am the calm of the sea
lapping the gold of my shore
lazily leaving salt patterns
like delicate japanese drawings
I am the gentle breeze
cooling the burning sand
at the close of day.
I am just one small island.
And you?
