This Man Is An Island

This man is an island uncharted in the sea and many are the shipwrecks that set their sails for me Down along the shoreline are remnants in decay and others sank beneath the waves while searching for a quay Peaceful waters beckon lonely sailors to their doom the jagged rocks below mark an ocean vessel's tomb Few have made it inland few can ever reach The crashing waves have washed away their footprints from the beach I set sail to nowhere no seaways do I brave Another island's rocky shore shall never be my grave Far removed from those who would venture out to me for this man is an island in the middle of the sea
