I Have Arrived!

From a faraway land,

From across the wind and the waves I come.

Of corals and cowries am I;

Rising from mermaids' bosom.

In a skiff secure I sail,

Guarded by Poseidon the mighty guard,

A solitary sojourner, knowing not

How long this voyage lasts.

Lights beam in the distance,

High and low it goes.

To a shore unseen, unheard

They welcome me.

The land not so distant,

Sends out cries, a little then and now,

Loud thunders of joy sometimes

Like the many colors of the changing skies.

The shore begins to line the corners of my eyes

Land! Land! I push harder at my paddle

A land exotic, nerving

A land so foreign, so magical.

Lights beam in the distance,

High and low it goes.

To a shore unseen, unheard

They welcome me.

I near the end of my journey.
Large, expectant eyes wave to me
From the shore radiant with lights - 
Their shimmer new and exciting.

I moor my skiff to the pier,
See two excited hands lift me up in glee.
I'm warm, fulfilled, just like 
The traversed coral horizon.
