Marooned

Dawn strums the morning with a melody of waves
 My head is pounding, I'm in a daze
 I just can't remember how I ended up here
 On an island in the middle of nowhere

 I stumble to my feet with sudden despair
 The mosquitoes have feasted on me all night
 It dawns on me that I could die here
 But I know I must put up a fight


 There's an abundance of coconuts here
 A source of hydration, and food as well
  I gather as much as I can
 While thinking of ways to build a fire

 I got soothing relief from an aloe plant
 And applied to my itching skin
 A seagull comes by daily
 To watch me and take it all in
  I  found a flint stone which I'll use 
 To start my signal fire
 
   The seagull watched as my fire trembled to life
 It danced as it became a blaze
 I breathe a sigh of relief 
 As to the roaring sea I gaze

  After six months passed, I still had hope
   I'd be rescued, it helped me cope
 I kept  hoping someone would see my signals,
  Perhaps even a fisherman
 
 Then a few days later  I see a boat! 
  And it's coming towards me!
 It had seen the signal
  I'll be rescued finally!
