Dreamships
Charlotte Mair

The tear has found its destiny,
again upon my cheek
and with this tear flows light

... I cast away my light

As a beggar
I've kneeled for love
Fought hard the battle, never won
and
on the shores of love,
I've watched the ebbing tide
of wanton freedom,
flow away tenderness,
... grain by grain

As Robinson Crusoe,
powerless,
... stranded on his island
once again
I watch man Friday

Bounding towards horizon,
... on sail
with my lost ship of dreams
