Leaving the island
hoping never to return
looking through rose colored glass
so much to learn
The sun is setting
on this time in my life
taking my faithful dog
fascinated with the wildlife
Across the mountains
accessible by the sea
the city awaits promising a
hectic lifestyle with glee
Excitement abound
no time to rest
so much to experience
life filled with zest
Years pass
no time to catch up
spirit is weary
tired if being grownup
On a ship again
returning home
the sun is rising
longing to be alone
Home now
favorite dog by my side
fishing near an island
enjoying being alive

You did a great job of packing in so much of the character’s life into this poem, a circular journey, and it’s wonderful that they feel alive after returning home.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
