The Island

Alone on this land,
I found in a storm,
I sink in the sand,
Where waters are warm.

With no one around,
The island is bare.
Just me on the ground.
I sit and I stare.

My mind is at ease.
My body is free.
The waves of the seas,
Are all the at I see.

The plane is in two.
I’m so far away.
There’s no need to do,
The nine to five day.

And so if I see,
A plane I could spot,
I could make a plea,
But I’d rather not.
