The Seafarers

There was once a lady
who dare steers her boat
away from her shattered dreams;
To which she only quotes,
'Have faith in the light ahead';
and it shall all be that it seems
Before she's yet to cripple,
as she rows through the ripples;
Towards the sea full of tricks
amidst the waves of impolitic

But she always know there lies
the almighty Light that ignites
through darkness hath no moon;
for it begins in a shore from afar
like the ones in folklores
she strives to reach it soon
and so there she sails
on with the winds that blow

There, there, where else
Should she be?
She'll soon reach
her place of dreams
Before the distant lighthouse
that beams
