songs for thee gather on
'A Soft Ship Named Surprise'
no martyrs can board
only captains of rise
no gems doth the moon
carry
but for the stars in thy eyes
I say sail forth
this beloved ship you alone man
for mine and me
I've so softly named Surprise
forget me not as you walk
your promenade of nightly pride
I, in my fragile grace and state
await the horizon of your tide
no hurricane need slate
his mission to usurp such glide
carry me off like the wind with love
upon such a soft ship
so aptly named surprise............
