Sail Away Poem by Juan Olivarez

Sail away, on a sea of dreams,
In a clipper fast and sure.
With gossamer sails that brightly gleam,
And a crew strong but demure.

Sail away on a perfumed sea,
To some enchanted bay.
Somewhere your heart does long to be,
And your feet just want to stay.

Sail away with a scented breeze,
Snuggling in you sails.
Where flying fish jump with such ease,
Behind orange and purple whales.
