Carry On

When we reach stone harbor
Following a distant light, ‘til the dawn
You were so far away
A kink in your armor
Gardeners plant forests out on your lawn
She found another grey
I won’t let them harm her
I’m so tired but I must carry on
The palm trees gently sway
Stern to port then starboard
The days are too short but the nights are so long
“Land ho!” I heard them say
