Journey
When I am gone release me
into the deep blue southern sea
into the dark blue wind
around the Brothers Islands
If you miss me
sit in the tavern facing the islands
like a flag on the shore
pointing toward the Brothers Islands
gather your longing
and call my name
I who once met you
between Hallasan and the Brothers Islands
will ride the morning wind
moving into your arms
then out again
remaining with you
If you write a few words for me
and lift the card into the sea wind
I will keep those weighty letters
clear and bright
lying beside the Brothers Islands
and carve your touch
into my heart
