SAILOR' SONG

Orion in the heavens,

On a course, unending,

Deep down in his heart,

This traveller sees nothing.



Neon signs keep blinking,

Phantasms all around,

Some old songs keep clinging,

This traveller sees nothing.

                              

To the tune of its sorrow,

A song life is singing,

Where hope keeps struggling,

This traveller sees nothing.



Friends of my morrow,

Remember me sometimes,

Hands on deck, so long!

This traveller sees nothing.
