Isle in the Sky

by 

Bill Truax

Ride a porpoise to the Isle in the Sky
Where sirens sing their alluring song.
But for the lack of wings to fly
I can only listen and long


For a time when upon her bosom
I do lie
And feel at last I am home
But alas I cannot fly


So I must wait until I die
As did the ancient mariners
Who would not ride the porpoise
To the Isle of the sirens


With songs, so loving, so close
Those riding the porpoise
And landing on the Isle
On her bosom do repose


And lip a final smile
