Ships
I asked the rain where’s the shore, and ever so quietly it whispered:In fogs of lifetime your shore had withered,
You lost your hopes, and lost its dreams
this ship of yours set on an obscure course.
Refrain.
Ships, like people in the sea — people-sails
In fogs of life they float into the distant sea vales.
Deep is this path on my own course
Ships at sea seek home shores.
Once, I was seen off heading towards unknown worlds
In fogs of life I wandered and got lost.
My mother’s parting words: son, may your return be quick.
The shores were rain washed, or made by tears slick.
Refrain.
I would become the endless sky, become a torrent,
I would become a salty breeze - just to return home,
But for the infinite time that washed away any trace of the past.
In fogs of lifetime the ships didn’t last.
