SONNET- AS SOME POOR SINGLE SAILOR

    
                  SONNET- AS SOME POOR SINGLE SAILOR

As some poor single sailor left adrift
Upon the widths of vast and chartless sea
Despairs of ever finding rescue's gift,
So when he is discovered and set free
He cannot quite believe good fortune's sight;
It's so for me: within a general strife
Of pathless ways you came like rescue's light
Within the common darkness of my life
And left me still incredulous that I
Could find such fortune on my way-
Like one who finds bright-beckoning jewels lie
There at his dusty feet some sun-drenched day.
So like some single sailor left adrift,
I wonder at love's wonder-living gift.
