Far Away

A thousand miles of oceans Days and nights alone at sea Whales sing under harvest moons Its a refuge from the bitter world i see Stars direct me to new horizons To new lands calling out to me Perhaps new roots and love await me I can finally be free from misery My passion for mankind has dwindled That candle melted so long ago Now i breathe in deep the salty airs And accept a life of ebb and flow One day when you no longer hear of me And my name no longer missed Know that ill be singing with the whales and dolphins In the seas eternal bliss.

A sad write, dear. I sometime feel this way as well, more often than I care to admit. It was good to get a visit from you today. Wishing you blessings.
