MAKING YOUR OWN MAIN (FOR DUMMIES)
December 9, 2005

alone in the ocean
alone in the sea
just me and the tide
and an insecure breeze

the ocean, it's mundane blue
the shore, a welcome change
for I am wingless and
in need of flight

its white beaches
its green forests
but attraction to the coast
is a very dangerous thing

not but a facade
not but faux-Eden
a simple spyglass can shake
a single island to Hell

only let it deffer you
only let it teach you
if it is outrightly bad
but never let it fool you

for it is more dignified to learn
than to be fooled
and I have been fooled
and I have learned

I've learned I'm no island
I've learned I'm the sea
The keeper of the ocean
making my own land to follow

I'll unleash my own winds
from their insecure breeze
fight the tide to my coastline
the one of my heart and what I know
because this is the ocean
and I can make it my own
