Golden Journey
Gold sails of light,
silently carrying me
in dead of night
Soft billow of golden sail,
takes the lead,
I hold the rail,
watching increasing speed
This dead of night,
glassy dark blue sea,
this silence,
carries me
Far,with gold sails of light
I do not steer this vessel,
I am its only passenger,
my thoughts I must wrestle
This glow from golden light,
from sail,
through the night,
carries me ,
far on dark glassy sea
No ripple disturbed,
golden sails reflected
on dark glassy sea,
I am unpeturbed,
no fear detected,
for this ship only carries me
No stars to guide
in this dark of night,
this silent ship does glide
with gold sails of light
For ,far ahead
is an island
bathed in soft yellow light
is this where I have been led?
For I see many gold sails,
so bright!
These golden sails of light,
carry me
back to the fold,
for the precious cargo that they hold,
is my soul
I step ashore,
I now know what is is for,
my body I leave behind,
a new beginning I find
This dark glassy sea
is not for me,
gold sails of light
are what makes it right,
for this is meant to be
For,in this new land
the golden sails have spanned,
carried me here
For I have no fear
For I am........ only me
Gold sails of light
over dark glassy sea
Silently carrying me
to island ,so bright
