Farewell to the island

You add the caption

 It is weird ...

I look out of the window and I don't see the clear ocean no more 

Instead , I'm overwhelmed with the sight of buildings and the ever deafening vehicles 

I see people walking on the streets with an obsession to a fast paced society 

I wonder what is going through their heads right now 

They don't look at ease but they sure are walking it 

I miss the hills that stood high on the island

The mist that subsides at dawn 

And the bats that used to fly narrowly missing my face

The locals who walked by greeting me 

As I sat there smoking on my bright blue porch

One season passed and many friends made

Memories that one would cherish

But could never chase

Grab your snorkels to the tide that we embrace

I now sit humbly on the corner of my bed

Fuck me , the world is getting smaller

But time seems to be pacing 

Dare to dream and dare to live

Are you in a rush to get somewhere

Why do we even bother 

It's been a good run of faith and dedication

Snap back in the real world 

Kickin' it like a rock and rolla

Dreams are made for a reason

And the reason is nothing but a bare self confession
