Sailing On

Sailing on the azure ocean,
                                        I ponder emotions.
                                  Allowing love and joy to reign,
                                    Then peace I shall obtain.

                                   The storms of life will come, 
                                     Beating like a loud drum;
                                    But one must not succumb.

                                              A new dawn,
                                               Sailing on.

Such beautiful and calming words Alexis, to sail on brings the thought of being in the calming sea sailing on a boat. Take care, Gordon

Enjoyed reading your contest entry, Alexis. I have not looked at the contest so I can't comment either but I enjoyed reading the lines. Those storms of life sometimes bring some deep dark waters. Your presence at my page is so supportive. Sara
