Winds of Fate

As fate would have it
her winds of chance
blew my seed 
far from its home land

A deserted island 
became my world

I grew up
far from family
far from friends

Alone
Apart

When the current flows
when the wind blows
it feels as if I am moving 
towards my loved ones

It is an illusion

Born to be alone
I talk to the spirits

– Shelley Lowell
