Welcome to Thursday Inspiration!

This week’s theme is island and the picture is below. Here is the song snippet from “Thunder Island” written by Jay Ferguson in 1977.

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, my lady
In the sun with your hair undone
Can you hear me now
Callin’ your name from across the bay?
A summer’s day laughin’ and a-hidin’
Chasin’ love out on Thunder Island

Like an island

Lonely and forlorn

Separated from others

Surrounded by just emptiness

Craving company and friendship

The loneliness is crippling

The isolation maddening

But to be safe we need to

Put a distance between each other

Waiting for the time when it’s not needed anymore

How we used to take it for granted

The ease and privilege of companionship

And now we miss these small touches
