Afloat In Serenity
In quest to find respite and solitude
spiritual food
it's to the sea I owe my gratitude
Only in my dreams
while adrift under starlight and moonbeams
I'm free of life's schemes
In slumber I sail upon the vast sea
peace prevails in me
afloat in absolute serenity
My burdens at rest
rhythmic waves gently lull me in their nest
comfort in my breast
I am protected as Neptune's daughter
on tranquil water
with no thought of being life's poor martyr
Oh, how much I yearn
to stay in the swells as long as they churn
to shore ne'er return
I have enlightenment and harmony
the way life should be
quite content in my placid times at sea
Quiet realm of calm
my heart fears no threat of distress or qualm
I am free from harm
I let go of the past without a care
free from all despair
cleansed my soul and to God I lay it bare

These monorhyming verses were written in the form of syllable count beginning with 10-5-10 and alternating with 5-10-5. I have no idea if this is a sanctioned form, but it is the way I chose to present it.
