I sit in command, quietly in my chair.
The world passes me by in indifference.
I do not what I'm told, yet I tell others.
Things are not as they seem, I die inside.
My romance and passion are kindled.
They are kindled by she, she who dreams.
Sleep she must for eternal life, sleep.
I rule, yet I am ruled by she.
Outside, the cold wind scrubs my skin.
Outside, I listen and watch to my dismay.
My heart leaps out of its chest and pulses.
Quietly, in my head it is coming.
Silently on the horizon is a sailing ship.
It is our ship, our life, our moment of life.
It approaches, casually, appropriately.
We board, we embrace, we are one.
I take her and she takes me.
Our destination is one of paradise, infinity.
This is life in  essence.
I sit in command, quietly in my chair.
