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:)
