all the diamonds in this world
that mean anything to me
are conjured up by wind and sunlight
sparkling on the sea
i ran aground in a harbour town
lost the taste for being free
thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
to carry me to sea
two thousand years and half a world away
dying trees still grow greener when you pray
silver scales flash bright and fade
in reeds along the shore
like a pearl in sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining

awesome...Love how the horse is black, and the back ground is soft. It takes no attention away from the subjects. Love the whole Peaceful look to it too. The horse and rider look like they are in no particular hurry, just out enjoyin the sun.
