Earth's Porch, Embracing Spring's Rebirths, Sonnet Number V of Xii

Earth's Porch, Embracing Spring's Rebirths,
Sonnet number V of XII

Mark the blessings of Spring's new rains
 cascade of showers and new life
Start of relief, from winter's pains
 true gift of fading away strife.
 
From glowing of gems comes bright smiles
 hope and joy in this season's birth
Joining of delight, to walk miles
 have newfound faith for all its worth.
 
For he that shuns not loving light,
 may learn yet again to re-see
Open eyes to far greater sight
 beauty of heart's gifts, shade of tree
 
Earth's porch, looking into abyss 
Humanity begs more of this.

Robert Lindley April 26, 2019 at 10:46 AM Thank you dear friend. Winter to me is by far the worst season to have to endure. As Nature tucks in its green and flowering beauty to await the rebirth of Spring's resplendent glories.

Demetrios Trifiatis April 16, 2019 at 6:56 AM Excellent imagery , unique verses my friend, Robert! Robert Lindley April 16, 2019 at 8:21 AM Thank you my friend. These twelve sonnets were written by me 30 years ago. Only now has any other person seen these presented to be read exactly as they were composed so long ago -- with no edits...

Joseph May April 15, 2019 at 10:41 PM Great sonnet Robert.. Spring brings all the smiles and hopes you describe.. Robert Lindley April 16, 2019 at 6:01 AM Thank you my friend. This one certainly withstands the vagaries of culture change and the test of time..
