For my darling brave friend Lindy, who tragically lost her husband - my shipmate Malcy, when he was killed by pirates in Thailand. We paid the ferryman with a silver coin on his coffin and he is free now to sail forever.
In the hopeful seconds of dawn
and In the dazzle of sunlight on water
I see you
In the gentlest of zephyrs
and in the most thunderous storm
I hear your voice
In the warmth of my bed
And in all that touches me
I feel you
In the smiles of our children
And in the smiles of their children too
We know you
And In my mind
I will hold on
to your starlit hand
And we shall sail forever
Sailing to windward
