Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Birthing Loving Merciful Trees

Birthing Loving Merciful Trees


Seeking any mercy, found greater peace
every step gifted so very much more 
Quest gave my lonely life another lease
ever a pleasure never a sad chore 

Every dawn brought another super gift
happy nights, flying in with joyous ease
Birds in flight forever , ever so swift
love springing up, as pretty as you please

Giving thanks for serenity and all 
journey concluded, racing quest sent back
Joy answered each and every crying call
acceptance for all that this life did lack

Peace then birthed those loving merciful trees
Joyous fruits answering desperate pleas

Note: A quest I finished long ago.
A poem of the now, looking back at the then.
Love heals all,  even a broken hearted man..

This write was inspired by my reading just today ,
 Peter Duggan's great poem titled --   Sincerely...
Thank you my friend, you give so much....

Gry Christensen October 9, 2014 at 11:00 PM This is utterly beautiful, it has almost an un earthly feel to it, the last stanza is perfect. I read this poem as a prayer, it's so serene and gentle too. Also the title is lovely, I actually first misread it ; Bringing instead of Birthing.

Robert Lindley October 9, 2014 at 10:10 PM Thank you my friend . And thanks for not ripping me when I missed writing for your last contest after stating I would. I truly thought I had, only to find out I had not when the results were posted. My memory fails me a lot lately..

Andrea Dietrich October 9, 2014 at 9:53 PM A greatly inspired poem. WE have Peter to thank but also your own marvelous muse for poems like this one, Robert!

Jerry Bolton October 8, 2014 at 8:31 AM I love this poem, Robert. I quite understand that peace you dwell on herein. It is a wonderful feeling that I personally never thought I would achieve. Although I still write dark sometimes, my heart isn't there. Dynamic poetry! Robert Lindley October 8, 2014 at 9:15 PM Thanks much...
