May dreams like waves be quick but soft
And carry all your hopes aloft
So that, when you, at end of day
Are lulled to sleep by gentle sway
And feel the love from those afar
That wish they could be where you are
Where sounds and smells stir memories
A sense of comfort gives you ease
Where trees are green and waters calm
A church bell marks end of a psalm
We cast for charms that quell our doubt
So we can pitch those quandaries out
For when this life has tipped the scales
And steals the wind from hoisted sails
Your journey still will make headway
Be brave while on your course you stay
Until pink skies give way to blue
And lighted house on cliff shines through
On crested swells o’erlaid with foam
Bewitched, the siren sings you home
