the ferry terminal


The man walks to the ferry terminal
Carrying his small bag on his shoulder
In the cool night of the moon light
He whistles a song “Do what we gotta do”

Along the way he smiles to strangers
They only stare back at him
He doesn't care what they think
He has to see his woman today

On the ferry terminal he waits
With his small bag on his shoulder
His eyes peel the crowd of strangers
He finds no woman he knows

He sits on the bench looking to the sea
The night whispering of the motioning waves
He tries to remember why he turns into a mess
The day his woman left leaving him on the island

His close friends advice him to forget
He smiles “It is easy to say but hard to do”
So he keeps walking to the ferry terminal
Every night hoping she will return
