Eden's Island

Eden's Island

To live in an old shack by the sea
And breathe the sweet salt air.
To live with the dusk
And the dawn
The new moon
And the full moon
The tides
And the wind
And the rain

To surf and comb the beach
And gather seashells and driftwood
And know the thrill of loneliness
And lose all sense of time
And be free

To hike over the island to the village
And visit the marketplace
And enjoy the food and the music and the people
And do a little training
And see the great ships come and go
Man, have me a aboard!

And in the evening
When the sky is on fire
Heaven and earth become my great open cathedral
Where all men are brothers
Where all things are bound by law
And crowned with love
Pure, alone and happy

I walk down by the surf
And make a fire on the beach
And as darkness covers the face of the deep
Lie down in the wild grass
And dream the dream that the dreamers dream

I am the wind,
The sea
The evening star

I am everyone
Anyone
Noone…

(Full Moon by Eden Ahbez)
