Dearest Sunlight, I Wait With Bated Breath

Dearest Sunlight, I Wait With Bated Breath Dearest sunlight has thy glow ran away Into a hideous canyon to hide Please to dawn's glorious hour this I pray Return, forgive me my arrogant pride I watch night sky, its vast, glittering glows Yet this lonely soul inward deeply cries Beauty abounds as a heavenly show Whilst on this sadden earth, love too oft dies. Dearest sunlight, have mercy, please return Life without you leaves but a bitter taste And in these consuming fires heart so burns While once so happy now all seems a waste. Dearest sunlight, I wait with bated breath. Life without you, tis but a fearsome death. Robert J. Lindley, 7-07-2022 Sonnet Note : Composed early this morn, born from a dream. As the dawn comes, it heart pleading for peace flies morning dove, love borne with its release but mankind blinded by world's scathing lies walks a doomed path, such truth thus denies. Neither shall ignorance, such dark defend, When evil was clasped as busom friend.
