Lin Lane Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Adrift On An Amber Sea

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

Chris Green October 13, 2016 at 4:04 PM 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.

Phillip Garcia September 2, 2016 at 1:38 PM 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 September 2, 2016 at 3:22 PM 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.
