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.
