Serendipity

SERENDIPITY

It is there, as I know for certain it is
And helped by this magnifying lens
I do now see it clearly on the globe
An island, where nothing should be
As it is thought to be wide open sea
It looks just like an ear missing a lobe
Does it really exist – well, it depends
Perhaps a suitable question for a quiz

Now I’m searching for this magic isle
Maybe it was the same with Serendip
A place that nobody had been before
Somewhere to hide and not be found
For one’s life, by secrecy to be bound
Yet a very lonely existence, to be sure
There might even be some sunken ship
And survivors living there all the while

It seems to be in the Bermuda Triangle
About which there’s many stories told
Disappearances that few do understand
But whether it is a fantasy or even true
I guess visiting would not appeal to you
So I can make an alternative travel plan
Perhaps a destination to safely grow old
Relocation viewed from a different angle
