To sail…

Have you ever wanted to just sail away, in the ocean so blue? When gray skies cloud your days and emotions drown you. When tired tears are all you have, and tired eyes have given out, don’t you want to just sail away? This is what I dream about...

A big boat with room only for two, a soaring sail white and torn, proudly displaying its tattered ends from many storms.

Star filled skies to let our thoughts rest upon, salty air to breathe; the ocean breeze would cool our skin, as we find the chance to begin again.

What a blessed thing to know, the sweet freedom that comes as the waves take you in tow; the freedom of the open sea, the freedom to explore what’s out of reach, the freedom and space to let love settle in its new home, the time, space and freedom, to let us all grow.

Oh, let this heart be made new, let these eyes be renewed, let these tears fall into the sea, let this worn ship carry me.

To the ends of the earth, to the bottom of the sea, let these cares fall away, let this worn ship carry me.
