Written: May 11, 2025, for contest by Joseph May ************* A crimson sky breaks the distant shore, Whispers of dawn amidst a quiet uproar. The sea exhales a deep-seated hope, Awakening dreams where echoes cope. Sailing through the waves, the sails expand, Symbols of bravery, a gently twirling strand. The horizon promise shines as a bright guide, Leading my spirit beyond the dimming side. From the shadows, the wings of time ascend, Caressing sunlight with lofty dreams, transcend. On paths yet to be discovered, hearts reignite; Every step becomes a life that is requite.

SP, sails expanding is a great metaphor. It's what sailors hope for. Great choice to illustrate the desired point. Smiles and hoping for smooth sailing always!!

Lovely Sotto, you have beautifully crafted a mirrored image of our lives, and reflecting such a scheme of renewal as the sunrise, new beginnings and the reigniting of hearts, dreams and hope. I love this. Very beautiful as usual from your pen. You truly are a master poet.

How youv painted imagery is absolutely gorgeous and soul warming! I love especially how youve written "The horizon promise shines as a bright guide, Leading my spirit beyond the dimming side. " just moving and theres so much depth in those lines! The prompt line youv used is exactly what inspires me too! And youv delivered a very profound take on it! Pleasure reading your poem today!
