I was but a traveler
Floating endless through the sea
On the other side of knowledge
Through the pliancy of dreams
And
voices there upon the ship
Spoke of radiant place's splendor
Beautiful shores with sands of gold
Wherein exists no torment or
pain
What was I looking for
What could I have hoped for
On the white ship I sailed through the night
As we traveled
for the Land Eternal
We passed many a peaceful harbor
Where we could have found vibrant life
In a world known only in
dreams
But vibrant was not eternal
So we continued upon our quest
Through misty lagoons of sparkling blue
And on through the
pillars of the West
The land must be adorned by beauty unknown
Never before beheld
The land of eternal life
Which ocean
secrets that had held
And as we left those shores of hope
And neared the end of the quest
The waters rose up before me
And
fell there sharply beyond
The white ship and I were taken
Into man's withered and dying arms
What was I looking for
What
could I have hoped for
The time that was mine was to parish with life
