Sailing Away

Were I a sailboat traveling at sea All alone with no one but me My masts would creak , the decks rock gently beneath my feet The hiss of my bow slice thru the waves , the tang of the ocean spray as I watch the wake paving the way Billowing white sails puffed out in the summer breeze And onward I would go merrily out to sea No use for the land , just wild and free The dolphins would come and play The seaweed hang out all day Overhead the sky prefers blue , but sometimes grey nothing but me , the sun and the summer rain The reflections play across the water The waves lap gently on my bow No use for the land , just me here and now
