Island Bay

 

I wrote this poem while going through chemo in 2007. I realised that even when I felt terribly ill, that if I walked by the beach on a sunny day, I felt that life was good.

Island Bay

 

I walk along

the coast and look out to sea

blues of the ocean

waves rolling along

hues of the land

Island Bay

a Cathedral

 

I need the sea

its effect on me

now I am doing chemo

Island Bay

my saviour

healing me

tranquillity, grace, beauty,

ebbs and flows

 

Touch my soul

my cells

heal me

Island Bay

my Cathedral
