Resigned to my Fate

pulled my skiff up to a pretty palm
left her to wander the island
was I alone?
were there natives?
would they be friendly
or take off my head?

the sun was setting low in the sky
air had an ambiance of quiet
I felt peaceful
and resigned to my fate
no matter what the outcome
there was a skip in my step
