Two Ships Sometimes you're so busy living You feel like a ship out at sea Forever chasing the North Star You just know it's your destiny But what do you do when another Ship comes along in the night Then pulls in close for a moment And the stars fade away from your sight You share the same course oh so briefly Enjoying the close company You question your reasons for being So far, all alone, out at sea Your thoughts all come in a jumble The compass spins, nothing is clear You think that perhaps you should veer off You let the ship come in too near You don't want to break the connection It feels so simple and right You curse the stars up above you As they pull you back into the night As the darkness begins to surround you And the North Star comes into sight The ship will not fade from your memory No matter how hard you may fight You wish your courses were different Cruising along the same line Perhaps the trip would be brighter with one course: yours and mine I hope that we don't lose contact The night now seems bitterly cold Plowing my course through the darkness I don't feel so fierce or so bold My thoughts stray to sunshine at midnight And the joy of a similar soul The ocean is dark and it's empty So far from impossible goals I hope that if ever you miss me And the ocean seems lonely and cold You'll whisper my name in the darkness And give me some time to be told The breeze will carry your message Over the distance as far as need be To my ship, my ears and attention As I gaze out over the sea I'll plot a new course on the ocean A new star will be there for me As I move to maneuver my vessel through a dark and tempest tossed sea Somehow, some way I will find you Though long the distance may be And my friend I'll rejoice to be with you together, at noon, out at sea ~devilpup~
