Dawn The Discoverer

Dawn sat afloat on the Santa Maria

And from a distance came the Nina and Pinta

Golden light the fleet in search of land

Bore from the horizon to kiss the sand

Dawn sailed the waves like a sailor

Navigated each move to shore

Everyone thought that the world was flat

But Dawn knew that it was not like that

The horizon mirrored the end of the world

But beyond this straight line was a plot of gold

Dawn saw clouds like islands ahead

And the illusion disappeared

Journey seemed perpetual as eternity

But soon there will be, an end to all that blue sea

The twinkled stars above started to fade away

But soon it was the beginning of a new day

Darkness like a bandit was gone

The island heard the sailors’ songs

It was the scream of seagulls in the air

And with a kiss as tender as a tear

He placed his lips on the island’s skin

For the natives it was not a dream

The Dawn had cast his heavy anchor

And lifted high his flying banner
