#42. SCHOONER

 

On the seas of destiny,

I sail on a wooden schooner,

under a sky of leaden clouds,

and a sea that churns like a furious titan.

The waves crash against the prow,

like hungry monsters destroying the calm,

and the wind, that great buffoon of the ocean,

shouts its challenges in the sailor's ear.

But in my hands is the helm,

and in my heart the indestructible faith.

No storm nor darkness can quench my course,

For I am the captain of my own dream.

I will cross the raging seas

until the sun, like a millenary lighthouse,

Shall light my way to thee.

#41. BASTIAN

 

In the night ocean, your echo whispers in the fog,

The moon calls to you, in its reflection you find solace,

In the depths, a pact with the abyss is sealed,

Bastian, sail with the sighs of heaven.

Echoes of the past echo in the swaying of the waves,

A song of sadness emanating from the heart of the sea,

Bastian, your spirit lies among the seaweed and shells,

In this realm of shadows where there is no turning back.

Thus, the sailor sails in his ghostly ship,

Adrift on a sea that reflects his melancholy,

And in this moonless night, his lonely heart beats,

As he waits for the dawn to bring comfort to his soul.
