As the nestlings have beneath their mother’s wings

Beautifully penned, fine imagery, and all sensitivity and gracious touch of spirituality! The second stanza also reminds me, to some extent, of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. Have a very happy New Year, dear Valsa!

Beautiful voyage on wintery night with water rise to the heavens high, But with a strong captain....steering his vessel without a slip..It's true fears are our monsters, they kill us and make us loose our hope. Conclusion with God Blessings! ! ! Beautiful poem. Loved it Valsa.

A very poignant write. There is always a light shining from the Lighttower to aid the lost seafarer. When the going gets dark and dreary and things seems to hard to bear the help will come. Cast out your net and pull in the many blessings that God has for you. A superb write!

A poem that is capable of transporting one to many a phase of the mystery of life a tale of its own. Anyways, your optimistic note here is about life and it works like an oar on the boat that sways often. A sure 10 is given to this poem.

Till we alight a harbour to resume our trip After the storm is calmed and the waves subside! Surrounded by sights breeding monstrous fears With no means to reach back the familiar lands.. it seems to be the prayer either not to get drowned or lost in the dreary coast..Nice to read..

Send me from High Heavens the grace to bear every trial with resilience, without losing hope, lovely words Valsa. Some things are definately sent to try us it seems.

such a lovely poem! As Tagore wrote: I don't pray to remain protected from adversity, I pray to you God for the strength to bear adversity!

Chilly desolate nights will come Into all our lives some day not far from now As we walk into the no- mans- land of old age And our kids will be too busy to show compassion or love Good poem but with sad portents

Your poem lets one face chilly desolate winter night, take the right path at a junction, navigate a stormy sea, solve the situation of being cast on a dreary coat. Beautiful poem to guide life at large. Thank you.
