Islands

Dots on the horizon
Rise and fall ripple effect
Suspect to origins

Clouds sail with us
Over oceanic sideshows
Too vivid to dismiss

Out of hand the curve
Falls out in the east
Telling stories we deserve

Slide into the darkness
Long haul clouds are snow
Islands hover no less

Horizons fall through
Imagine land out of waves
Invisible or never true
