Dear Valsa, what a fantastic poem! The fundamental topic focuses on emotions of isolation and confinement, as expressed by the metaphor of being "stranded and stuck" on a "solitary Island." The picture of "shimmering colors of sapphire" evokes beauty and charm, yet it contrasts sharply with the notion of solitude, emphasizing a sense of longing or unfulfilled desire. The poem examines the conflict between the exterior beauty of the surroundings and the speaker's emotional struggle, stressing a sense of imprisonment despite the vividness of the environment.

Great poem. On a solitary Island, you can enjoy some solitude and meditation. When you get hungry, raise your sos flag. Someone will see and help you.
