You and me
Together on a sea -
On a boat without sail,
On a boat without oar;
With nowhere to steer,
Without the drum beats of fear,
Like that of a seafarer-
Are drifting into the blue
Like that of the Neil,
With ice on the air.
While cruising past carelessly
A derailed bunch of clouds
Like a lost wayward dreamer,
I will look straight into your eyes
Into the dark deep red
To ask for a favor;
For I’ve got to know,
Maybe it’s time to see
What awaits me thereafter.
You and me
Together on a sea
On a boat without sail
Without any oar to steer
Past the deep brown blank
Towards nothing to see;
While asking you
For a favor
Just for a moment to spare:
So I can pray to Him
To make it a little less painful
As you, the inevitable,
Take me past the border,
To that ultimate sphere;
For I really need to know
Maybe it’s time to see
What awaits me thereafter.
