Sara Kendrick Poet Quatrain

Unanchored Boat

The boat floats, alone on the lake
Unanchored but so far away
That boat soon held emotions close
Alone on the lake, the boat floats

Isolated, drained emotions
Dark clouds, stained waters, depression
At once dreams are devastated
Drained emotions, isolated

Radiant beams, pierced the darkness
Sunlight  penetrated hardness
Those joyous tears streamed; light extreme
Pierced the darkness, radiant beams

Feelings of love, swiftly returned
The boat wasn't alone unanchored
Above flew the white Turtledove  
Swiftly returned feelings of love
