The Sailor And The Mermaid

I sailed away for a thousand years

Searching for reasons to know

So many times I've let my fears

Distract my soul from where I have to go

Oceans Have rocked this little boat

Often too hard but still it goes

After a storm I only know

How far a distance I must go

I've heard the sounds of distant ships in my life

All clouds around

I hear them call my name at night time

Familiar choir echoes afar

Draws me far away from shorelines

To a place I long to know

Caressing wind brush back my hair

Distant shapes keep me awake

Scents of flowers in the air

Evoke lost memories of a lake

In waves she dances

Playing passing close by

The green of her eyes

Reminds me of a distant lifetime

I know I've seen this face before

Her voice invites what is left of my life

To the land of evermore

No more frontiers will ever stand between us

Let go my fear

And let my soul fall in the ocean

As every dolphin rules the sea

Hand in hand we'll sail forever

To where we were meant to be

In the morning they came aboard

They on found this little note

Please tell them all I love them so

But I really had to go...
