Sails Wave

By Silver Spectre

For the sake of heaven sunset falls
For the man next in line
Sunlight calls his way
To the coast before his mind
Skin becomes the land and Sea
Is filled with tears he knows
How deep the forest is perceived
How close the flowers grow
Silver is the moon tonight
Reflection of a winters smile
Warming up the waters here
The blood that runs the Nile
Temples that were built in air
With hands that are divine
Bare all his colors fared
On the seven steps of mind
Distance reveals a ship on edge
Where the sky meets the ocean tides
These sails that wave hello
Soon will wave goodbye
