A Distant Memory Poem by Andrea Bailey

In shadows of sub consciousness
Deep with in my mind
Are gently hidden memories
Of another time

In dreams I dream of silver ships
That pale the star seas
I think that once upon a time
I sailed on one of these

In search of things I didn’t know
I sailed the voids of space
Until I came into this time
Unto this very place

I long again to sail the ship
Across a star sea
In this time and this place
I have lost the way the key

For memory is a fickle thing
That fades with passing time
And hides a key that sails the ship
The ship that sails within my mind.
