Sailing to You

As I sail the seas in search of treasure neither dreamed nor believed, 
I have finally discovered you.  your beauty sparkles in the sun and 
burns my eyes. I set sail for your ports in the hope that you will 
receive me at your door.  The Western Wind carries the sound of your 
voice over the miles, caressing my ears and sending visions of life 
and love to my soul.  I set sail for You...

		"Away from here, away from you
		 Is to walk a howling sealane.
		 Stay for me...
		 Your Love is Life,
		 Your Love is Land.
			Stay for Me, your Love is Life.
			I need your Love to land."

...How the minutes slowly turn to days while I'm away from you. I feel 
the Universal clock pronouce the hours in my empty soul... My Soul... 
How it longs to be filled you!  How long will you deny me the happiness
I seek?  Am I forever to sail the empty oceans and only see you again in 
my dreams? I dare not!  Through the howling winds and vicious waves, I 
plot a steady course for you.  Will I ever see the peaceful seas in your 
eyes?  Even if Death hovers above my ship, he cannot stop me from where I
must get to.  death is a grinning fool who fears the power of the young.  
He will not prevent me from reaching out to you...  YOU ARE MY SALVATION
