Islands

Staring out to sea

Continuing to see

They were in the distance 

But there felt like some sort of resistance 

My eyes were full of persistence 

It must have been my insistence 

Floating on the horizon 

There was no despising 

The sun was rising 

It wasn't surprising 

Waiting for some reason 

This was so pleasing 

Maybe some teasing 

At least it was far from freezing 

A fine sight 

Caught it before the night 

Such enjoyment in this light 

Everything felt so right 

What I could see in the distance 

Wanted to make it my residence 

Set a precedent 

Become a permanent resident 

Maybe even the local president 

Such is life 

This is the place to avoid strife 

Maybe find a wife 

Start a new life 

In the islands
