In quest to find respite and solitude I drift on the light of an amber sea It's there I pray in words of gratitude for a life that's blessed with serenity Riding on waves where only peace prevails gently lulled to sleep by swells as they crest Tropic winds flirt with my billowing sails I dream of feasting as Poseidon's guest This peaceful voyage calms my heart and fears Quiets the distress I've felt in the past There's never a threat I will spill sad tears while my anchor of burdens is not cast I shall sail upon this sea in my heart without the need for a compass or chart ~~~~~~~~~~~~ August 28th, 2016

Well, is it ok for guys to sigh? Too late, I already did. This is beautiful, a soft comforting beauty floats in your words Lin. I love the rhyme and the cadence of this but most of all I love where it took me and how I felt when I got there. Absolutely gorgeous.

Oh yes, Chris, please sigh all you'd like. Thank you for liking this one so well and allowing it to take you to a calming place, where gentle waves can rock you to sleep.

I can't remember if I already commented on this or not but this is the 3rd time I've come back to it and I love it with increasing passion. It's just so soft and moving. I'm not sure that exactly captures how I feel but it's the best I can do. Very nice. PS - if I post the exact same comment in a few hours call the authorities and tell them I'm stuck in Groundhog's Day and need help

Lin Lane

I don't remember seeing a comment from you prior to this one, but if you've read this sonnet 3 times I'll count that as being the best kind of compliment. Thank you very much, Phillip.
