Once I left a sail behind

A crew on the shimmering sea

Docking, blue, docking again

Everyday, revisiting the vast ocean

The familiar sky, the familiar depths

And the new of all discovery


Day by day, a new traveler

A sad parting, a happy reunion

Let her return again

I never was alone there

Even with a monster, a friend

A face I can't remember

Or a wild beast

I was never alone

And now, like always

When I set foot back on land,

Dissipate into a silent and groggy

Fog

And how alone I am here

Blind to the boundless water

Who dearly waits for my return

I'll come back, I promise

Yet I fear the day I can't

The weeks I sailed mindlessly

And void of memory

That empty black space

The chasm between the port and the sea

Croaking as it splits

Don't let go

The world is all the land

Colorful, mysterious, and great

But the sea is even more

Don't you understand?


Once I left a sail behind

I'll have to leave it again

But I swear I'll come back

To fill the hollow in my chest

And to empty the thoughts in my head
