Barge for Sale

She awaits a strange captain

To alter her intention

For a last magical journey.

She will sail for the happy isles

Where troubled hearts find freedom

And no leaves fall like tears.

After bright springs

And lonely voyaging

She will come to still harbour.

After remembered summers

And tempests of autumn

She will come at last to haven.

Storms will cease, and rains ease

And proud as any swan

She will swim on soft water.
