Sailing To Peace Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



I am sailing down the River of Time,

Towards a place where it is peace that reigns,

Where life and love rule in that place sublime,

And where joy for all rolls over the plains.

 

The times that have passed I can leave behind,

Where war and unrest were always the way,

They can forever be banned from my mind,

And life can be everybody’s new day.

 

So sail with me towards that peace on earth,

Where love fills our life with beauty and joy,

And can show all the people what they’re worth,

With gifts of love and respect to employ.

 

I am sailing down the River of Time,

Come and join me towards that place of peace.

        A corny joke from me - where is the River of Time? Near Bognor, Southsea, the Isle of Wight, or where?! lol.

        • Goldfinch60

          The River of Time is within each of us Orchi.

                It used to be that Christmastime was a brief reprieve, now we seem to be grasping at straws to get some peace and quiet. Feeling this poem quite strongly.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Very true arqios. Thank you.
