An Island -edited

An Island



An island am I in the sea of life, -- This is a little awkward in the syntax. "of life" seems to detract from the poem.
changing with every tide,
my borders daily different. -- This line seems a little awkward as well.
The waters as they ride

away with what was part of me -- I'm always weary of enjambment across stanzas, but that is probably just me. The "away" is a bit surprising which could be good.
bring back a gift as well,
exchanging branch for driftwood
or sand for pearly shell.

Though what was me drifts away --Maybe a synonym for drifts
new parts of me abide
and I am daily different… -- This "daily different" seems a little awkward to me.
ebbs and flows the tide.

Now imagine if this was really an island speaking here! I think there's room to improve here, but I can also be very opinionated. Thanks for posting.
