Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

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.

Your exquisite imagery and expressive verse is heartfelt and prayer-like.. the soulful beauty of your plea reaches deeply into heart. A fav! Robert, I hope all is well with you and Justin. I haven't had time to be here much in the past month or so and it looks like you haven't been here much either. Your last poem posted was on 9/14/22 for our beloved friend, Connie. What a tragic loss, your poem was a beautiful tribute to her. Please know you are in my thoughts.. Warmest wishes, my wonderful friend.. ~Susan
