but he had his passport so he got on the ferry to the Dominican Republic and from there it would be easy to get a flight back home. That was the plan. He gets home tomorrow. And so this is what he wrote on the ferry leaving PR after the hurricane.
My Exodus Back Home from Hurricane Maria
Before leaving the island, I saw it upon the horizon
It was a rainbow upon the hill
It truly gave me chills, a warm smile and a sense of frill
Before I knew it, it had already disappeared
All that remained was a puffy cloud
Resemblance of a Taino strong and proud
Perhaps the rainbow was a simple thank you or a solemn good bye

Before I knew it, it had already disappeared
All that remained was a puffy cloud
Resemblance of a Taino strong and proud
Perhaps the rainbow was a simple thank you or a solemn good bye
As I sailed to my native land on the other side
Maybe the cloud symbolized falling tears of joy or even pain
Telling me do not disdain or refrain from the Holy rain
Maybe the cloud symbolized falling tears of joy or even pain
Telling me do not disdain or refrain from the Holy rain
The journey was great; the experience even greater
Despite the woeful pain together we'll make it better
We continue on this journey bound for gloryDespite the woeful pain together we'll make it better
Winds far gone can't move forward if unholy

From Genesis to Exodus; Hebrews to Revelation
Life, strife, and tribulations Must read Lamentations
Compare past generations and learn appreciation
From lessons learned from sinful fallen nations

This is a warm tribute, a heartfelt farewell
Hoping and praying that my stay served you proud and did you well
As Hurricane Maria blew afar and near with ferocious forces
Its legacy continuously erupted
Hoping and praying that my stay served you proud and did you well
As Hurricane Maria blew afar and near with ferocious forces
Its legacy continuously erupted
I humbly admit, the little that I did
Doesn't even compare to how much more you gave to me
It's vicious destruction hurt down to my marrow
But you remained steadfast and free of sorrow
You gave me hope, love and kindness
True indeed of the finest
Doesn't even compare to how much more you gave to me
It's vicious destruction hurt down to my marrow
But you remained steadfast and free of sorrow
You gave me hope, love and kindness
True indeed of the finest
Until next time my sister island
Please don't worry nor hurry
Though there's much pain and unspoken sorrow
The North Star speaks of a brighter tomorrow
Please don't worry nor hurry

The North Star speaks of a brighter tomorrow
Like a stubborn light that keeps on flickering
And evangelical love that keeps on ticking
You are a beacon, the light of the world and salt of the earth
Hope on Borinqueños! Dream on isleños!
You are the true living spirit of a true Caribeño.
