Sailing to Glendorra



Hold my hand, Eva
And never let me go
Whisper in my ear, forever
How you love me so...

But the boats to Glendorra
Are sailing tonight my dear
Listen how the wind calls
Listen to my unspoken fears

Your wings, barely mortal
Your heartbeat next to mine
Charts our lonely existance
As your days measure my lifetime

I long to sail with you, I must
To the land of elven lore
But my hands would turn to dust
While yours, smooth forever more

And yet I would choose my path
Live a life on the journey
Gaze at stars, twinkling above
As the world listens to me

Singing on the boat to Glendorra...

Pour Glendorra

Je choisirais mon chemin
Vivre une vie sur le trajet
Aimez étoiles, un clin-dessus
Alors que le monde m'écoute

Chanter sur le bateau pour Glendorra


Mencari Glendorra


Ku belayar tinggi di awan
Pelayaran hidupku tersendiri
Ditemani bintang berkelipan
Dengarlah rintihanku ini


Berlayar mencari Glendorra

    My mother used to sing 'How Are Things In Glocca Morra' from Finian's Rainbow .... I loved it so. Your beautiful poem reminds me of that.

    Ninot Ma'am,
    Beautiful verse on a journey through time and eternity. The sea, I always have a penchant for and more so rendered 3-ways uniquely different from others.

    A magical mix of the eternal and mortal, I feel pulled to both the timelessness and the finite. A beautifully versed journey, Nino.
