Sailing In Fortitude

Will storms abate not And tides in my favour turn Won't the darkest days Serenade nights where A starlit symphony sings Would a new day dawn Shrouding past regrets Giving rise to hope and joy For this jaded one Too weary to croon Won't the dove so sweetly coo Chasing gloom away In rays of citrine Making mornings more serene Peaceful tidings greet Gratefully I sail along

It's amazing how nature can sooth the pain and heal us when we are most in need. I enjoyed reading your poetry today, Subhadra. I'm looking forward to reading more. Have a pleasant week, my friend. Bill

Dear Subhadra, the depth and breadth of wistful emotion is expressed with aching beauty. "For this jaded one / Too weary to croon / Won't the dove so sweetly coo" - ah, so lovely and wishful. Your mournful musing is deeply moving. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Awwn, this is such a heartfelt piece reflecting one's yearning for a bright dawn and shedding off the darkness.. I loved so many lines here especially.. "Chasing gloom away in rays of citrine", " For this jaded one too weary to croon" Such evocative descriptions.. Definitely relatable.. ~ Hugs- Hiya:)
