your island

there is an island for you
more than any dream
toes in the clean warm white sand
turquoise water rushing in gently
singing softly your name

there is an island for you
satisfying and free
cabana boy bringing drinks
olga massaging your neck
whenever you call

there is an island for you
apart and above the fray of everyday
laughter touching souls
hearts sparking love with every moment
accepting, friendly, relaxed

let me be your island
your terms your time your touch
and i will hold your hand
watch the waves, and smile right there beside you

sharing our very best adventures ever.

Wild Towers

  Wild Towers -- collage by Douglas Brent Smith Notes: In the lower right corner is one of my favorite photos -- my brother Dave and me at Grandmom and Grandpop Rogers' house. If you look closely you can see Grandpop Rogers sitting in his chair. He was probably reading the newspaper, the Bridgeton Evening News. It was a great newspaper in those days and Grandpop read it front to back every night. There are more clear versions of this picture, probably even in other collages because I love it so much. Those were wonderful days and I miss my little brother so much.

She Could Juggle Anything

Back Inner Cover
