More, please, from y'all. I Love (big L) to read your hearts thoughs and share mine w/ you.
This one I'd not seen in yrs. I wrote it the first day I moved to Balboa, on my 30th B'day (1976.) (Have you ever noticed the sunbeam on the water follows you wherever you walk?)
This is from the perspective of the Exporer Balboa, credited w/ discovering The Pacific.
(All but the last verse)
I FEEL THE DESTINY
My name is Balboa
I come to the Sea
Observing the beauty
Far as the eye can see
I claim it for Spain
In Ferdenand's reign
And for me - It is my Destiny
For I come a traveler
A-long on the roam
Far from the home fires
I would call my own
And live on the Wind
The glorious Wind as she blows
What more need I to know
Consider the Sunbeam
Alive on the Sea
See how that Sunbeam
Shines it's way to me
Consider the Wild Clouds
Painted on High
The hand of my Master
The Journeyman's Eye
So settle me down here
And settle alone
Kindle new home fires
Now to call me own
And live on the Wind
The glorious Wind as she blows
What more need I to know
Consider . . . (Chorus)
My name is Musician
I come to the Sea
Observing the Houses
Far as the eye can see.
But alone on the sand
At Sunset I stand sitt and free
I Feel the Destiny
