Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Fate's Seal Never Yields

Fate's Seal Never Yields 

 
A storm so dark and so very blue
fate delivers it's first misery clue
Earth and sky rapidly melt into an urn
soon, so very soon , comes my turn


Rain that spins so out of control 
 pelts down upon newly born souls 
Awakening thoughts buried deep within 
of the mortality of we lesser men 


Short lives spent in duties often delayed 
with dreams imagined but never quite made 
Regret of the coming last dawn lingering around 
like a lonely fish that is dark water bound

Ashes heaped upon a very wearisome head
Sleeping soundly in a very badly made bed

Robert J. Lindley  11/23/1977

Jack Horne July 5, 2014 at 3:38 PM awesome sonnet here, my friend Robert Lindley July 5, 2014 at 4:01 PM Thank you! Was written so long ago. Recently I found one of my small journals and it had about a dozen older poems in it. This is the one I chose to offer.
