Striving to be free

by don-moore

You be my sailor' and I'll be be a boat for you. We'll sail off to adventurous lands together Buy silk, sweet smelling woods and magic fruit We'll bob on the waves under the silvery moons light And tell tales to each other of imaginary worlds We can adopt animals and birds from strange islands Buy exotic spices measured by Chinese pirates Maybe I shall rescue you from their ship on the high seas When they try to sell you as a bejewelled slave of love There will be pools of turquoise to swim in under blue skies Beaches of white glistening sands set with mother of pearl Birds to watch and listen to as we swim and bats to fly overhead Foods of many lands to enjoy savour and wonder over You and I shall have so much fun throughout life together Even though our lands are no more than the duvet And our adventures are nothing more than dreams in our heads. Then will come the day we must go our separate ways Adventures of our own on our own but knowing That we will be once again be reunited to explore each other Our adventures no longer held by the duvet or imagination To be allowed to stroll along beaches, to truly fly in the skies above. To be together forever and held in each other's arms and free.
