Sleek White Schooner |
I dreamed I saw you sailing in |
Upon a sleek white schooner |
You were skimming over the shallow seas |
Coming into harbour |
Healing on your brow |
In the hard, fateful, brand new |
Twenty-first century |
The cargo you were carrying |
Was richer than riches |
Golder than gold and yet more real than real |
And the light that came a-flashing |
From the new born babe in your arms |
Was a pealing of thunder, a cannonball flying |
A sun exploding, dawn in the heart of me |
I stood there on the shoreline |
Looking out over to sea |
And I watched your white sail |
Sparkling on the horizon |
You were coming into harbour |
Healing on your brow |
In the hard, fateful, brand new |
Twenty-first century |
