She smiles, flashing her teeth like a flashbulb  
Her image burned into the back room of my mind. 
looking into the mirror of your reflection
i dive into your eyes with abandon
I’m lost in your ocean,
I’m daydreaming with the clouds in Your sky
And the whistle blows
i open my eyes to the mundane. 
i must go, but I’ll will return
to this island in the storm, your rocky ledge of knowing
I walk away, not in sadness, but with hope for the coming day.
