On Softer Sands I’m taken to the shores of softer sands Where visions of life’s images are sketched What dreams have not been molded by my hands The fingers of reality have etched Gray dawns are turning into golden beams Life’s bruising wounds that left me in distress Have turned to hope of uninvited dreams That kiss my eyes with unknown happiness Contentment stands beside me on the shore Amidst the worst of days, without a plea The winds have brought a gift not known before And kindly set this joy in front of me The morning sun is capturing the night Just as the twists of life are taking flight Elizabeth Santos |

Such a wonderfully uplifting and perfectly crafted Shakespearean Sonnet to begin my week... I love it...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

"Amidst the worst of days, without a plea The winds have brought a gift not known before And kindly set this joy in front of me" This much alone - said it all for me - Thank you so much - You can sonnet me any time ~S~ |
