A plank of wood, <br />Afloat on the Pacific; <br />A solitary body, <br />Buoyant in the greatest of blues; <br />Basking in the scorching sun; <br />Tumultuous yet inexplicably tranquil; <br />Amidst the raging currents; <br />Swayed by the ocean streams; <br />To an isle which lies; <br />Far beyond the immediate horizon. <br />A-kin, buoyant dreams, <br />Are carried by currents of destiny; <br />To lavish upon you; <br />A sunken treasure, buried, <br />Deep inside the sands of your destined isle; <br />In your journey, from calamitous depths, <br />To the arms of serendipity.<br /><br />Dilantha Gunawardana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-plank-of-wood/
