A ship on the horizon gleams in fading light of
day
First white then pale gold to match the setting
sun
What route it travels, port, when its
destinations done?
With the sun pristine ship swiftly fades, is
leaving
Abandoning me on lonely beach gently grieving
That I could know of they who on this vessel
sails
Envious of grand adventure, my imagination pales
For to know life one must grab life in strong
embrace
And when it comes you cannot pause you must
chase
If you seek what's on the horizon regardless of
how far
That ship may come to you no matter where you
are
In far distance, sparkle, sparkle, wave and
dipple
Sails yon phantom ship away without a ripple
Often I call it back in colored memories of that
day
My mystic ship of dreams forever sailing on its
way
***
I think that in life our desired achievements
are often like a
distant ship on the horizon. They seem to be in
sight but
at the same time unattainable. I think we need
always to be
attempting to board that ship no matter how far
it seems
from our realties. We may never reach it but
will certainly
not if we do not make the effort.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto
thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me
to the rock that is higher than I.
