Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Sea of Hope

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.
