The Mariner

A fine soiree to end the day,
A choked mariner has to say...
Even as the ship sails across the bay,
The tired mariner sees that one golden ray,
As it wipes out the gray.
The clouds dissolve and the birds,they call...
The mariner hearkens as the sky darkens.
'Tis then that he understands the voice, that the night-wind sings..
And feels the mystic melody strummed on the water strings.
The music wakes him to a brighter day,
Beating out all the shades of gray.
Becoming but his guiding light,
To help him sail through the darkest of nights...
It becomes the expression of his soul,
Once again, making him whole.
The shore may be far,
But he’s guided by the Evening Star
Filled with the strength to resist the night
And to endure the day;
The strength to follow the path in sight;
To take it without further delay;
To find that one purpose in life,
And the truths to be faced, that it brings,
The strength to struggle against the strife;
To hold on to all to which his life clings...


A fine soiree to end the day,
The inspired mariner has found his way;
As the ship sails across the bay,
He holds on to that one golden ray..
