Craig Cornish Poet Sonnet

Born a Smile

I love the night when all of quiet sleeps
and in its slumber dreams about the day;
when muted dew from roses lips will weep,
then softly through the thorns of life will play-
and pass the songs of night time to the birds.
This morning hymn, though brief the harmony
now echoes throughout time and can be heard
in every sunrise for eternity.
With every promise kept is born a smile -
renewed with hope, a day begins again
and in deep dreams it dances and beguiles
with subtle wishes always will remain.
So from this sleep I pray we can awake
to share in peace before it's all too late.

Mystic Rose Rose August 18, 2018 at 7:17 PM I love the suave way you write your sonnets. Every word is in the right connected place. Much enjoyed . Thank you . Craig Cornish August 18, 2018 at 9:40 PM Very kind - thank you PD

Carrie Richards August 18, 2018 at 10:29 AM Before I sign off.....another huge thank you for the encouragement and support you have given me time after time. I couldn't resist your last contest, ..."Claire-de-lune" sheet music has been in my piano bench since childhood, and shouted to come out !! Thank you from my heart, and for reviving my memories ! :) Craig Cornish August 18, 2018 at 2:27 PM Nope, I'm honored to be respected by you---also, every time I see those words written "time after time" it really hits me because it is my favorite romantic song even though so simple---not the new ones, the one often performed by Sinatra---but, I digress, your poem and every one you write should be made into a Ken Burns (he's a NH native) special about America.

Carrie Richards August 18, 2018 at 10:25 AM I read this beauty on Facebook, but wanted to make sure and happy to see it posted here as well. You truly have found your niche with sonnets.....of every kind. Especially when the message is deeply felt and the emotions run high. This is so lovely, Craig. How do you ever pick a favorite? Too many to choose that are worthy !
