The sailor

I landed on the shores of a thick jungle, green and beautiful, dancing in harmony;
I ventured in, tasting the nectars of wilderness, I breathed in, the beautiful scents of forests;
As I gulped the virgin waters, I submitted my ego to the giver of life.
My soul wanders in search of love;
As it passes by the majestic fortress,
I question, 'Is this where I belong?'
The answer lies in the long wait, my dear!

I landed on the golden sands of an impressive desert, clad in emptiness.
The silence sent ripples of fear down my throat,
Hissing of the rattle snakes offered me peace, howling wolfs were my cronies;
 I submitted my foolishness to the king of nights.
My soul wanders in search of love;
As it passes by the majestic fortress,
I question, 'Is this where I belong? '
The answer lies in the long wait, my dear!

I landed on the sprawling markets of a great city, built of gold.
I tasted richly brewed wine, and touched the marvellous chains of emeralds and pearls.
I met people, cheerful and welcoming,
I bowed before the 'celebration of life'.
My soul wanders in search of love;
As it passes by your majestic fortress,
I question, 'Is this where I belong? '
The answer, my dear, lies in the long wait!

I landed on the devastated lands of war and terror.
I sensed the horrors of hatred and crime.
I watched, in silence, the relics of a bygone civilisation, ravaged by simple human greed.
As I realised the delicateness of human existence, I bowed to the lord of destruction.
My soul searched for love restlessly;
As I passed by your majestic fortress,
I wanted to break those walls,  built of deadly patience,
run into the house of mirrors,
Look into your eyes as deep as the seven seas,
Touch your heart, so impenetrable like a diamond,
And ask you, if I belong here?
But, yeah!
My dear, the answer lies in the long wait!
