Analysis of My Alyeska
Your vast empty spaces
Driving wind at times
But often a slight breeze
Lapping at my cheek
Makes me long for you
My love my home my land
Rivers gushing forth from on high
Headwaters fearful yet awesome
Stir deathly fears my ultimate end
I am thy son a part of earth
My land my Alyeska - Jaime Tan
