Doom smiles at us all, so we smile back. Wilted petals on the Tree of Life don't die. A most modest craftsman or a devil's eye. All will perish one day on the one-way track. Drain the grime off your toes; nothing lack. Yet it may be apart above and beyond the eye. Death burns as a candle; light has gone awry. Gowns were thorny throughout the stack. Wrapped in tears interwoven inside a sigh. You will never feel agony as you rise above. Grief isn't disarray; grieving is the only cure. A solid and lasting trail of rays in the sky. Restore the broken visions as a wing dove That proves we're ill, and alas, "Are we sure?"

Death burns as a candle; light has gone awry--we will all pass through eventually---your poem is deep in thoughts.

I've noticed that you have written several of these sonnets. It must be a form you enjoy using. Creative work you have written. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Sara, I appreciate you taking the time to read and provide feedback. This is my first attempt at an Italian sonnet, and I'm glad you enjoy it.

We are all sufferers of some illness. But we plod on.
