On this soft autumn evening all is still The moon drifts over clouds that gently flow Bequeathing through us humbleness and thrill. To fade in its mild hour of afterglow. And somehow I have thought about our dream Where skies can look into my heart and feel; This vow of love will never die, but gleam Until life ends, embracing time’s ordeal. Forever then we'll walk the endless strands That tugs along this sail , my river’s quest, Where seagulls wheel above the pearly sands Beyond the twirling curves far to the west. Yes, love is ever faithful, always pure Till heaven greets me in my last detour. English Sonnet Contest of Janice Canerdy 11/3/2016

I read Iambic Pentameter one way for nostress/sress which sounds funny compared to my true/natural reading of it. This is lovely with full sails, Nette - captivating and touching ... CayCay
