sleek white schooner

i dreamed i saw you sailing in

upon a sleek white schooner

you were skimming over the shallow seas

coming into harbour

healing on your brow

in the hard

fateful

brand new

twenty-first century

the cargo you were carrying

was richer than riches

golder than gold and yet more real than real

and the light that came a-flashing

from the new born babe in your arms

was a pealing of thunder

a cannonball flying

a sun exploding

dawn in the heart of me

i stood there on the shoreline

looking out over to sea

and i watched your white sail

sparkling on the horizon

you were coming into harbour

healing on your brow

in the hard

fateful

brand new

twenty-first century
