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
