I dreamed of sails in gusting winds
The torn flag is at half mast
Waves of change tire out this ship
And I say goodbye at last....

I watched for lost horizons
found treasures in their wake
Shiny threads of hopeful morsels
Never captured - by mistake

The raging seas of turmoil
Accented by the calm
The ship's soul steers the rudder
Keeping it's sailors far from harm

I throw caution to the albatross
And hoist a newer sail
Then set out on uncharted seas
So this newness may prevail....

The captain on my broken ship
until my colours come alive
The ship is torn and battered, yes
But the owner has survived....
