I hear from afar
Your voice so low
The laughter now gone
Reminiscing to repeat
High peaks in the light
Shining bright with your smile
Few tears now emerge
Hollow darkness in the soul
Fear not to be free
Like the wind over sea
Set sail and behold
Let bars not be jail
As your wings fly now free
And if tides appear, and threaten to drown
Or shades of gray, rumble high
Shaken may be, your fragile bones
But withered not, the brave resolve
That led to glide, or paddle your boat
Covered in wool, filled with warmth
And as you recall, the feelings emerge
Bring back the joy, you owned once before
You now have come close
And share what you feel
Spread it among
Those that you love
To sail not alone
But with a whole fleet
