I wandered through a barren waste. Cut off from a land I had come to love, Torn from those who inspired me. My anguished cries ran ahead, Then rebounded tauntingly to remind me of my idiocy.
Directionless my feet were, Lost my heart was, Numb my mind became. No border to this waste land This hateful exile.
On my knees I threw a prayer To whomever would deign to hear it. Refusing to believe all hope was lost. Dust clawing my throat shut No pride left.
An answer! A sweet, blessed, rain filled answer! The path became clear, The border in sight. A gateway opened.
Such verdant growth, Words upon words. Friends and comrades Welcoming me home. Forgiving my stupidity.
Thank you, O monster of the sea For giving Oppusia back to me.
