Prologue

Stranded in storm, shipwrecked.

My profile disheveled.

Yet it is not the first time I am abandoned,

On distant shores forcefully

marooned.

Let me accept these water waves,

Once so friendly now wrathfully raves.

My inquisitions couldn’t keep me safe on shore.

A splinter from wreck, under chest i bore.

Casting a final glance on isle.

In pursuit of my stolen smile.

I accept all challenges

Sun, sea and savages.

Surging sea waves toss me astray,

The more I row further drift away.

My conquest of truth keeps me awake,

To protect my pride, I put all at stake.
