Adrift On an Amber Sea--By Lin Lane--United States

Adrift On an Amber Sea

In quest to find respite and solitude

I drift on the light of an amber sea

It's there I pray in words of gratitude

for a life that's blessed with serenity

Riding on waves where only peace prevails

gently lulled to sleep by swells as they crest

Tropic winds flirt with my billowing sails

I dream of feasting as Poseidon's guest

This peaceful voyage calms my heart and fears

Quiets the distress I've felt in the past

There's never a threat I will spill sad tears

while my anchor of burdens is not cast

I shall sail upon this sea in my heart

without the need for a compass or chart
