Gazing off into the swollen seas

There is an air of undying mystery

The light burns upon the windswept shores

An unconscious urge calls me forward

A ship appears on the horizon

Its alabaster hull meets my sight

This ethereal vessel

Is drawn shoreward by my light

Coming ever closer now

The beacon now glows bright

Riding on the full moon’s beam

We sail on into the night

Ahead I seek life’s greatest wonders

Found in abstract fantasy

Following a celestial guide

In search of perfect reality

We travel to many unfamiliar lands

Spanning aeons of time

The land of pleasures unattained

Gleaming, yet reeking of plague

A brilliant legend reaches my ears

Of a land of hope

Beyond two basalt pillars

Lies Cathuria

I beg the captain to voyage there

Cathuria etched in my mind

Following our celestial guide

The white stone pillars we find

Passing through, no land in sight

The horizon ends too soon

The White Ship escapes the edge of the world

Cascading endlessly into doom

Once I sought life’s greatest wonders

Found in abstract fantasy

Following selfish desire

Plunging into insanity
