The day is grey-white, softened by mist.
In the distance I hear a wind instrument, the island’s baritone:
Aummmm…
Aummmm…
Aummmm…
The pervasive low tones blanket me,
repeating, ever repeating.
Though here a whisper,
they resonate deep in my heart, a maritime
Om…
Om…
Om…
The foghorn assures me
I’ve found my way home,
found my way home.
