Darkness of night
as a treasure chest
with its pearl star necklace

Romance impregnates
the waters with
robotic humming waves
At the crack of dawn
a mysterious vessel sails
beyond the horizon
Along these littoral plains
a maid in misty clouds
awaits her destiny
The maiden, the captain
with vagabond hearts
travel the seas of love
as guiding stars
search out the cupid moon
in the heart of night
