Dark and Light
There was a time when clock ticked Oh! So slow
When each hour new would seem to have no end
I’d wait for dark to go and light to grow
For then the dread would pass, all fear was spent
Yet with the light born in the break of day
I’d grasp each span that came to pass then new
To give me hours of joy with games to play
And see a world then bright with dawn fresh dew.
Now time goes fast and dark is less to fear
There’s world that shines in sun new born each day
Though that pale end that comes too fast, draws near
And brings the mind to thoughts of come what may
With truth bared so to rest our quest for sight
Shall we yet yearn, still drawn to see the light
Sonnet in 140 words; 140 syllables; iambic pentameters
