The Treasure Island Collection

Approach the Island,
the sound of the hull sliding across the sand,
bow lifting, boat coming to a complete stop,
stern swinging round pushed by waves.
Hop ashore—be the first to step on the Island.

Anytime I’ve come to an island, I feel the pull and possibility of adventure and somewhere, always in the back of my mind, the certainty that there is treasure buried somewhere on the Island.
