Beautiful Island

Beautiful Island

A Poem by Nicholas Phillips

It's a vast ocean of unanswered questions. I mean, a questionable sea, see?
 But I'm a lifeguard, so I fight hard, against the waves and currents fighting me
 I see my goal, because sometimes when the protective waves let down their guard
 I get a peak at the paradise island I'm chasing after. It's such a beautiful heart
 Full of life, love, happiness, laughter, and the relaxing sensation of a cup of tea
 But the most gorgeous part, is when I see the island, I know it wants my company
 Cause there's a lighthouse on that island, showing me the path I must take to get there
 And just when I think I'm getting close, the island thinks twice and gets scared
 This island has yet to realize, I can't stay afloat in this storm forever, all on my own
 I'm seeking that island with such passion, because they say where your heart is, is home
 And my heart is there. I know it's there, somewhere there on lock down with key
 It must be there, you see, I look around and see no other island in this questionable sea
 I was lost in the ocean, though it was calm, I hated having absolutely no direction
 Then the island appeared out of thin air, and everyday I fight my way towards protection
 So I'll keep fighting, because the island is beautiful, and I know that I'll be home
 If it will just let it's guard down, I promise to take loving care of if, and call it my own
