When I Sail Away Spirit By mbshls@earthlink.net April 6, 2018 Tags: Healthy Habits, Healthy Thought Patterns, Life-Long Learning, Meditation, Personality Types, Prayer, reading No Comments by Lizzie Clark Hardy Sometime at eve when the tide is low, I shall slip my mooring and sail away, With no response to the friendly hail Of kindred craft in the busy bay In the silent hush of the twilight pale When the night stoops down to embrace the day And the voices call o’er the waters flow…. Sometime at evening when the tide is low I shall slip moorings and sail away Through the purple shadows that darkly trail O’er the ebbing tide of the unknown sea I shall fade me away, with a dip of a sail And ripple of waters to tell the tale Of a lonely voyager sailing away To Mystic Isles where at anchor lay The crafts of those who have sailed before O’er the Unknown Sea to the Unknown Shore A few who have watched me sail away Will miss my craft from the busy bay, Some friendly barks that were anchored near Some loving hearts that my soul held dear In the silent sorrow shall drop a tear But I shall have peacefully furled my sail In moorings sheltered from storm or gale And greeted friends who have sailed before O’er the Unknown Sea to the Well Known Shore Share:
