nearing we watched the boat go up waves
until i felt blind because the sun was so strong
i looked away ashamed and sensed the rise
of mother sea under my feet
the disturbed try idle thoughts
i think about what i choose to see in front of me
catalina's scrub hardness had sheep and goats
the mining there played out badly
the romantic part of me wishes to identify
this place w/ past but honesty urged me to come clean
scars show on the cliffs over smashing waves
the island was indifferent at best and worse angry
like dreams the ocean rolls on forever but it lifts me
a great wind sends regrets away

nearing we watched

anything taken to it played out badly
i wished to identify

indifferent at best and worse angry
the ocean rolls on forever
a great wind sends regrets away
