To a Sailor At Last the Seas of Rest

Fear I have fallen The day she died So why so sullen? No one is callin’ For this first I cried Fear I have fallen In vein a trollin’ These seas have lied So why so sullen? No longer full an Imperious tide Fear I have fallen Beneath a wall an impart to ride So why so sullen? Have I forgotten? So much loss I’ve tried Fear I have fallen So why so sullen?

CS, your poem is a poignant exploration of loss and longing. The repetition and rhythm create a melancholy tone that beautifully captures the your emotional journey—well done! - Blessings, Daniel
