To Sail the Sea When gray and purple mist is lifting slowly off the sea There is a moment of contentment deep inside of me It is the vastness and the freedom of the ocean’s realm It is the wind and currents and my dreams to man the helm And filling up my eyes with sunset reds that overwhelm To ride the waves of pleasure is to venture the unknown And always there’s a gift for all the seeds of life I’ve sown It is the grace of dolphin and the wonder of the whales It is the new horizon just beyond uncharted trails And flowing with the breezes and the billowing of sails To guide a ship of passion is to put the heart to rest Skimming o’er the silver sheen of moonlight on the crest To ride translucent blues and greens of sea’s tranquillity Knowing and not knowing what the future day will be And rolling, ever rolling with the rhythms of the sea Elizabeth Santos |

To guide a ship of passion is to put the heart to rest Skimming o’er the silver sheen of moonlight on the crest To ride translucent blues and greens of sea’s tranquillity Knowing and not knowing what the future day will be And rolling, ever rolling with the rhythms of the sea Such nice words and images you have used... enjoyed this a great deal!!! |
