Wind's Promised Grace

The wind is an easel of darkened hue Under hanging clouds, my breath meets the sea Where tears on night’s air linger to review This pain once needled by love’s trickery. Like a wing that rises on one blessed flight Across the shores of hope trilling a dream, Its fragrant air hums gently to rewrite The end of sorrow wiped by a moonbeam. And zephyr flings its stars , its promised grace In hymnal joy for my essence, now whole; Like a child of strength this gift I embrace As tears become holy drops that console. When life is pierced by rainstorms that invade I think of wind chimes as my serenade. ------------- Janice Thompson's Pen A Sonnet On It Submitted 5/27/2016

We should never let the rain dampen our spirits and just dance in it until the sun shines again... This is a lovely sonnet, Nette. The vivid imagery enhances the strong emotion of the piece... Good luck in Shadow's contest!
