THE SEA OF TIME

The seas of Time with jewels shine and rise on every side;
Not for me an earthbound sea or ebbing moon-tossed tide;
Sing me the legends of the stars, the sagas of Mankind ....
Where is the world my love dwells on
Across the sea of Time?

*
The sun-wind sings of planet-rings, and dazzles my heart so;
But sorrow lies upon my eyes, and homeward would I go
To find the peace where all things cease, and calm my restless mind -
But in what haven on what world
Across the sea of Time?

*
Wanderlust and faithful trust is all that beckons me;
Comet-dust and rocket thrust across eternity;
Laser trails and solar sails - with them my life I bind ....
To find the world my love dwells on
Across the sea of Time.

*
There is a star I left so far that gave the light its birth;
There is a song I sing so long that dreams of planet Earth;
There is a flame that burns his name in every space I find ...
There is a world my love dwells on
Across the sea of Time.

*
If I had flight on wings of light, immortal would I be;
Each way I go, there time would slow.... into infinity;
Love cannot bide where space is wide, nor any hope be mine -
No bridge of Man can ever span
The other side of Time.
