An Island

Sparkling lights, music and dance
Sound of laughter all around
A sea of faces, happy, proud
Surrounds an island staring about.
Am I a part? Am I involved?
I am but a silent wall
Standing tall dividing worlds
I know not why I stand,
I know not how to fall,
I stand, and stand and stand
Like a lifeless wall.
But my ears still catch
The whispers that abound
My eyes drink in
The beauty of the sea;
Alas!  Alas! my lips move in vain
Their sound in my heart remain.
