call me Robinson Crusoe
steer me toward my own island
in the Pacific,

let me be myself
one with nature
let me enjoy her balmy ideas

release me to summer...

His life seemed to be at its worst

What a quandary.
What a plight.

Or just a distant longing
For love’s lost realm.

Invite us to bathe
Within the aura
Of her ethereal domain....
