The Ship rolls on
our only landmark the sun
in the distance we see
land
it grows larger on the
horizon
our first view of the
island
Boxes move in the cargo
hold
I am a stowaway, finally
released
sneaking away into the
trees
I have freedom at last
Close my eyes
trying to forget the past
that’s been dragging me down
I shouldn’t be escaping
there is too much left to
do
what am I waiting for?
answers lie back at the
ship
not on the island
Must act
sneak back
spy
so many stories being told
of the island
not by her, she gives
orders and they move
I follow her
looking for answers
they venture into the
jungle
so that is where I must go
She walks with them, with
all her secrets
leading them to who knows
what
leading them to their doom
she is more than mystery
she is temptation
I want to know want she
knows
not stop her
I could surrender to her
let her show me all
but that would not be how
it would work
she would not lead except
to lead astray
When all is said and done
my duty must be followed
answers are the goal
not her
But how do I fight
temptation
when in the end I know she
will undo all
Though she cannot see me
I can still feel her stare
she calls to me to turn
myself in, I can almost hear her voice
“Where you wish to go, I
will take you there.”
