An Island of My Own.

I've had just enough time to...   wish to retire to an island of my own.

Taken of a private island not my own in Tanah Merah Lake, Perak, Malaysia.

Out there I know

An island waits patiently,

For me to come home.

Each day

Squeezing through the crowd,

I am an island of my own.

The clock ticks

And with each impatient minute,

I heard my island calling me home.

_______

No man is an island,

No man stands alone,

Each man's joy is joy to me,

Each man's grief is my own.

We need one another,

So I will defend,

Each man as my brother,

Each man as my friend.

- John Donne
