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

Such a peaceful, comforting poem - the perfect antidote to your "anchor of burdens," words I won't soon forgot.
