Sea Goddess

In a dream, the Sea Goddess made me charge 
at faraway meadows with monsters of steel, 

turning sweet crops into 
industrious deserts; set the Forbidden 

Apple high—many have fell for its nurture, 
and many more toil for its care; for I am 

the son of the Sea Goddess, the natural heir 
to the Isle of Goodwill, and I shall lead

with great faith—and deliver
the islanders on a sill.
