Come sail with me
Far out into the long, rolling waves
Where we can drift out together
Between the pitch-black seas
And the glittering skies
Each folding slowly into each
Toward, towards the light, and away from light
Knowing neither up, nor down
Come sail with me
And gaze upon the moonlit stars
Until we know not if we are gazing
Or dreaming, as the great and gentle sea
Breathes us rising, and falling
Into the unseeable night
Come sail with me
Gazed upon by the Moon
And the small curious stars
Are they also blinking heavily
Tired and wondering
If our sea is their sea
And our boat, their boat?
Do they comfort each other
With the sound of waves
Or words, lapping softly beside their glowing faces?
Come sail with me
Listen to the shimmering thoughts
Of one small star
Of one wandering star
Falling slowly towards the light
Away from the light
Knowing neither up nor down
Whose boat is maybe our boat
Sea, our sea
Who maybe sleeps our sleep
Beneath the same--beneath the same blazing Moon
