A Sailor's Tale

I sail across the open sea, Moonlight kissing my skin, The rushing waves inviting me, My voyage finally begins The air is cool upon my face, The night is dark as coal, My sails are flowing at a fast pace, Sounds of the ocean comfort my soul Upon the water lays the moon's silhouette, A beautiful sight before my eyes, This memory tonight, I shall never forget, Sail the night until the sun shall arise Crashing of waves to and fro, Silence and solitude I embrace, The heart of the ocean I long to know, Finding myself in this magical place Wishing upon the nearest star, Dreaming my dreams on this cool night, The song of the ocean I hear from afar, Sailing in darkness until day's coming light
