A SAIL WITHOUT WIND


When the time comes
Will you be ready
Open your eyes to see
What lays at your feet

Sometimes to question
Is losing self in thought
Look a round at the mountains
They lay in wait for who know what

Search inside, into the emotion of want
Motivation slowly moving forward
Turning 'round and 'round
The trees settle into the day

Do you see the light
Just ahead of you
Or are you looking away
Into distant memories

Places and times passing by
For reasons unknown
Actions not taken
Drifting far away without a sail

Wood floating on waves of blue
White caps disturb your world
When the time comes
Will you be ready
