This Journey Fraught of Desperate Dreams

This journey fraught of desperate dreams Within the grip of swelling grays The Southern Cross astern now shines Ever close of darkened bays Adrift of lost and endless times Sails now hoist, direction’s wind I hear the angry waves a’ crash Spume does touch my worried skin Tempest waters come to lash This journey fraught of desperate dreams To reach the one that I adore Of echoed voices calling me And compass points of distant shore Fear shall not my face to run To fight this wrathful storm I will Hoping for the morning sun With calmer seas so ever still When dawn, I pray on bleeding knees Does find your arms about my chest With kisses sweet of anchored pleas To whisper I have met my quest And found my love for once and all By harbor light and North Star way Your heart, my destined my port-o-call Never more to sail away
