The Castaway




In the vast sea, on an empty shore,
A castaway lives lost evermore.
For how long now? He’s lost all track,
Nor knows the storm that pulled him back.


He sailed with Love on waves so free,
Till storms stole her away from sea.
Since then, he’s left the world behind,
On this forsaken isle confined.


Though Love has died, her light gone dim,
He waits, still hoping, calling grim.
He speaks to her, he cries her name,
From cliffs he shouts, his heart aflame.


A ship appears, its sails unfurled,
To take him back into the world.
Yet without Love, his heart won’t flee,
And on that ship, he'll never be.
