Running With the Breeze Remember how we used to sail away And lose ourselves to sun and wind all day? Remember how the islands used to call? Inviting us to come explore them all? How many coves have felt our anchor chain? While huddling in the cabin from the rain, We dreamed of far off places we could see Within our inner eye's periphery. Remember how, becalmed, we'd drift along, While you would court the wind with salty song? Sea-chanties from the past, you'd sing with flair, To tempt Calypso's heart to stir the air And when the wind would finally come around, How we would laugh and scuttle down the Sound. Those days were far too short and all too few. I wish that I were sailing now with you. The tide of life has carried us away From sea and ships, from binnacles and bay, But time cannot destroy the memories. In dreams, we still are running with the breeze! |
Additional Notes:
binnacle - a case, near the helm, that protects a ship's compass.
