Strange are the nights with visions
of gleaming fleams, piercing vapours
and sweet soft humming murmurs
merging gold blue crimson and black,
golden globe sinks,succumbs to darkness
no more cool and nestled are clusters or
sunbeam and moonbeam, in space, remember?
No,blaspheme, no ship silhouettes on skyline-
one cannot swim upstream but sink by degrees
over a period of unknown years but then there
no more cool and nestled are clusters or
sunbeam and moonbeam, in space, remember?
No,blaspheme, no ship silhouettes on skyline-
one cannot swim upstream but sink by degrees
over a period of unknown years but then there
is the divine return like the brave Odysseus who
lost his ship in drunken state without fears-
timeless oblivion easily persuaded in pleasure sunk
stay, stay, keep the ship straight, but where is the ship ?
tightly grip the oar, be in septime firm, on the floor-
on the seas, there is no wall no door -
pay tribute to the controlling breeze
with love in the heart that is light and free,
sail on - on ample aquamarine liquid space
beware the ship may drown in River Tarim
sail on, sail on ready is the harvest of Berseem
on the seas, there is no wall no door -
pay tribute to the controlling breeze
with love in the heart that is light and free,
sail on - on ample aquamarine liquid space
beware the ship may drown in River Tarim
sail on, sail on ready is the harvest of Berseem
remember The Resurrection Light will shine again
And dream , the eternal glory of invisible Quinquereme
And dream , the eternal glory of invisible Quinquereme
