ship of youth

Регина Арден
In a garden land, full of wild flowers,
Sculptures, and ancient towers,
I am searching for a vanishing ship,
I am wishing for my youthful years
To sail with me in the ocean,
I am Whispering my secret emotion
To your imperfect waves that are so divine,
Even after thousands years that went by,
I am touching your salty kiss
that is sweet like wine,
I am breathing your morning breeze,
That is like a blooming cherry trees,
And year after year, I come to you,
To recover what I knew,
To forgive unforgivable sounds,
To cure uncurable wounds..
To threw away my skin out to shore,
To threw away my troubles out door!

O, my ship of youth in the ocean blue!
There is one thing meant to be true,
Today, I am younger than you
But I would not be new without you!
