Voyage

Cast off and away, my darling one
Full sails, stern set, abide
Within the bellows, this ebb and flow
Shall rock you as the tide

Sails set securely, catch strong headwinds
Pulled swift upon this sea
As billows roll with rhythmic droll
Lay safe within and be

Gathering clouds veil starry night’s sky
Heaven’s lights dimmed still shine
Beyond surrounding storm’s rage, their light
Ablaze with strength entwined

Fear not the towering waves nor storms
Dark vanquished by rising dawn
For longest night’s chill melts at the sun
New mercies bestowed beckons song

Wonders abroad silently stand watch
Eagerly awaiting your gaze
Vast treasure troves nestled long ago
Shall set your soul ablaze

Cast off and away, my darling one
Full sails, stern set, abide
Within the bellows yon horizon calls
Onward to distant skies.
