Mayflower

On the edge of silver waters
On the fringe of Wellfleet's sound
There's a ghostly vision present
Where a ship was heaven bound

Freedom's passion was her bearing
Man's desires were her winds
Peace of mind her destination
Intuition was her kin

Skimming gentle crests of pleasure
Phantom vessel slowly slipped
Sea birds were the only witness
To a strange intruding ship

It was here it touched the treasure
It was here they saw the face
Of a dream of unknown measure
In a distant nowhere place

Still she sails into the waters
On the fringes of the bay
In the minds of those who stand and
Watch her slowly sail away

Right on the money, Liz. I'm keeping this one.
