The sea of time has tossed about

Who can guide that ship about

Do the wakening eyes of the wondering soul

See within and then without?

And the darkness of doubt

Gales of anger that wane into the calm.

Please take me drifting far away

From the wordy and worldly explanation

Of this space we call today.
