My dreams wrought me a ship on which I embarked In want of an island that lay in the comfort of solitude alone And amidst all hopes, illusions and dreams to hold onto I set foot upon this island and had soon made it to be mine own
It became the fortress of my very mind And I watched it fill itself with all sounds, colours and odours That the power of imagination is but heir to And to which it slowly made me subject
If nature is a reflection of the human soul Then a human hand will show itself in sweet flowers and the mystery of the darkest wood The oblivion of the deepest sea
Yet then the solitude and desolation of my island Woke me up from dreaming And I was left with nothing but the illusion in the mind of a displaced refugee That still lives in his own world; this island of his imagination
