SPIRIT OF REPOSE
Listening to the calm of a new day
I hear the far off horn of a trade ship
My idle thoughts turn to distant lands
Take me to Athens to die
Among the classical ruins of the gods
Let me sail to Sicily under the sun
Take a route to the east
On a desert caravan trail
Over clifftops of burning sand
Let me trade with the Spanish for horses
For a journey through bliss
A journey with the spirit of repose.
