and + revised image
My island
from the air
looks like a fish
surrounded by seas
till now never drifted
from my island
in my dreams I pictured
an uncommon certainty
neither barbarous or Utopian
an odyssey that sets free
what lies beyond reach
what gift do I carry?
or ticket conjured
what can I offer
but thirst
not knowing or believing
free spirits soar
high within these airs and eyes
trained beyond obviousness
is a little further
because my island
is like a fish
sailing comes natural
just upside down
the current's a breeze
