I Saw A Ship A-Sailing…


I went down to the beach today,
Wind blowing in my hair,
Lost in thought, in dreamland,
Where everything there, seemed fair!

In the distance on the water…!
I saw a ship sailing out to sea,
And how I wished I was on board,
I wanted to be lost in infinity!

I pondered on my life this day,
And thought of all the hurt and pain,
Wishing I was on that ship in the distance,
Knowing my life will never be the same…!

I mulled over in my mind…
What is happening now in my life!
Still wishing I was aboard that ship,
I wanted to leave behind my strife.

I thought about my future fears,
About the trials and pain I face ahead,
Wondering, but not afraid of…!
If I were to end up dead!

I'm not afraid of dying,
That's not what this is about,
It's just that I am not ready yet,
Of that there is no doubt!

So I sat watching the ship sail away,
I watched the ripples in the sea,
Looking into the vastness of space,
That space is where I wanted to be.

I wanted to set sail on that water today,
And leave behind my life of woe…
Not face the future that's ahead of me,
Because I don't want to die, to go!

As it disappeared into oblivion,
The wind still lashing at my hair…
I was lost in thought, no solace to be sought,
I decided sometimes life's not fair.

Sailing away on the sea of time,
My mind filled with a fear so great,
What will come of tomorrow?
For this day will deem my fate.

I shall have to wait and see I suppose,
And take it day by day…
Because after all, when said and done,
I can't change anything by what I do or say!

So as I watched that ship-a-sailing,
Calmness washed over me…!
Accepting that, no matter what,
I will deal with whatever it will be…

…For I Am The Phoenix…
