the vast abyss surrounding future undefined trapped in the tempest and ravages of time the distant glimmer of the dawn horizon calls caressed by the ocean the winter sun is born and with my waking eyes i see the distant shores of home and in my dreams i see the shores of home im drifting away like a fading memory lost where only waves will bury me i long for the times when stars cascade from the heavens and into the sea for that is the moment that is the moment when i bring home back to me born of the tide take the wind in our stride as the depths beckon below sons of the waves at the prow as it sways cross the frozen ocean we go sleep soothes with hollow words while waking mocks with disdain time and tide wait for no man but the embrace of stars remain
