Sail Away

The sun sets slowly on a shimmering sea,

A girl wants to sail away with me.

-

A sleepy voyage to soothe her mind,

A way to leave her woes behind.

-

We’ll gather our things in a big brown boat,

And write the day a goodbye note.

-

Then cast away from the shore with ease,

To set our sails in the stirring breeze.

-

Bundles of blankets stowed in the hull,

As the swing and sway begin to lull.

-

So settle yourself in my warm embrace,

And allow the wind to caress your face.

-

The light lies low like a fading flame,

A new day calls and whispers your name.

-

The gentle glow of sun-blushed skin,

Speaks of serenity, peace within.

-

The sun winks out and welcomes the night,

The stars all dancing, blinking, bright.

-

Now dream of oceans in beautiful blue,

Where waves all weave to pastures new.

-

Know soon tomorrow will be today,

Sail away, sail away, sail away.
