Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

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.

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.

Sotto Poet June 18, 2023 at 3:51 PM Robert, your piece is exquisitely crafted. Love possesses the capacity to rekindle within a receptive soul. It is not an act of treachery or imprudent undertaking to acknowledge that mankind was not fashioned to traverse this world in solitude.

M. L. Kiser June 18, 2023 at 11:32 AM The search for that sunlight can sometimes be long and frustrating; when it returns...glorious. Excellent lines and full of deep thoughts. The bird flies with no worries other than for its' own; though they see all of the evil in this world, they can still remain separate from much of it. Well worded and thought-provoking. Robert Lindley June 18, 2023 at 1:21 PM Yes, when one gets used to traveling in the dark it seems to be normal. If light breaks through, we see truth. Which is a great thing. GOD bless.

Suzette Richards June 18, 2023 at 5:53 AM Love has the ability to return to a fertile heart. It is neither a a betrayal nor a reckless enterprise to honour the fact that man was not designed to travel alone. Regards, Suzette Robert Lindley June 18, 2023 at 7:32 AM Quite true my friend. We are by design of need for a life mate, a soul mate. In youth we are missing so much wisdom and we make many mistakes. I know that I did that. Thank you for commenting. God bless.
