To come ashore in an Island

 To come ashore in an island

To seek the eyes that talk

To find it was nothing more than the

Islands dark night stars

Stars that speak in strange words

That I find hard to learn

To tell me things I almost knew

But now they make me yearn

They tell of a land of a million hopes

That will always go unfulfilled

Of young men who died in vain

To fulfill some old men's will

Here along the beach lies sunken treasure

 Here along the reef lies sunken treasure

Of men who sailed but did not measure

I seek to find it soon

Under eloquent stars and moon

I use starlight to navigate the seas

It will be in moonlight the treasure will be freed

Of foolish men who did not see

That numbers will ruin their destiny

I reach the treasure sailing east

But the stars disappear with my endless needs

I throw the treasure overboard

I need the stars to sail back home

The stars guide me to reach my Isle

I walk inland a hundred miles

I reach a jungle of a billion trees

But I came here for just one tree

Here in this jungle grows a hidden tree

That all the eyes in the world cannot see

I seek to find it soon

Before the sun seals my doom

What is gold but a ruthless thing

That kills more men than a useless king

But each atom in this wondrous tree

Has a magic in it that can cure all ills

The anxiety of the human condition
