isola Isola
All around, weaving, twirling, dreaming
'Round and 'round, Isola does her dance
Enchanting all who answer the echoes of her mind
Singing to all who dream of her
Ringing, bouncing, snake - skin shoe prints
Trampling air pockets, on floating toward
Her phantom beckoning
Find her in losing her, see her no more
Yet you hear her
Isola calls from without
Her transient terrestrial screams pass through us
As we spin to her music
Floating away to moments of smoke
Caressing the ceiling - sky
The echoing reverb continues
Whether in dream - like states or in shadows fleeing
Like whispers which know no words
No moments lost when auras glow
Can see the stream where Isola drowned
She sleeps to wake; she lives to die
As the waters carry her to unknown lands
She'll follow schools of fish as predators lie in wait
Floating away
Making her home an underwater cove
