Disconnected From Civilization
I am an island,
deserted, surrounded by an ocean.
I throw a bottle in the water,
hoping someone will find my message.
I used to be among civilization,
but I was forced from my connection.
Unable to retrieve my anchor,
I sailed to this dark place.
I hope a ship will find me,
feeling so isolated and alone.
I long to be with people,
yearning to be in touch with others again.
Perhaps I will reconnect,
one voice among others.
Trading stories and news,
return to society.
To be released from this island in an endless sea.
