Analysis of The Happy Fisherman



Sailing with my true blue friend,
Every wave was a new lesson to learn
Every storm, a new chapter to open;

Listening to its deep voice,
Every story was a reverie to follow
Every silence a whisper of love;

Guided by the wind of my destiny,
Every voyage was a new sail to make
Every departure calmed my soul;

Following the gull of my dreams,
Every sea was a new season in my life
Every horizon a place to seek the answer;

Searching for the painter of my soul,
Every fisherman was asked for guidance
The happy one gave me wisdom;

Escorted by the light of my heart,
Every island was a new treasure to uncover
Every discovery a color to my rainbow..
