Trapped within my point of view,
I sailed across a sea
And looked back from the other shore,
Surprised that it was me. How liberating! then I thought,
And walked my welcome way,
Determined not again my new-found
Freedom to betray. And yet, alas!, it was itself
A self-framed point of view,
In which I dwelt content to know
The place of what I knew.
