Steadfast are winds that begin as a gentle breeze, ruffling waves as they rise over Earth's seven seas. As quickly as zephyrs blow crested waves ashore, time and circumstances alter our lives much more. What was once a newly budded flower in Spring, will oft' find itself plucked like a broken heart string. Fragile blooms wither, their petals fall to the ground but new buds will return and in beauty abound. Lightning blinds us with mistakes we made in the past. Thunder roars and clouds darken, but storms never last. Though we may be blown off course in winds of sorrow, the sun will rise at the dawn of each tomorrow. Take hope in knowing that all bad things come to pass and you will find that it is faith that fills your glass

Ms. Lane, I'm glad that I found you again. Although, you call this story as a sonnet; to a Persian, this is Masnavi. Rumi's teaching... The wind is a metaphor that all of us starts as a gentle breeze, but we might end up as a never ending storm.The only thing we need is Hope that tomorrow will bring us a new dawn and more love....

Loved this sonnet Lin, you do this form so well you should do more, I like the 12 syllables better than 10, seems like a more complete and expressive sonnet. Well done as always thanks for honoring us with your inimitable style!

This is what I love the most, using nature to convey your point, I do this all the time! And you have done so quite masterfully my friend, what an exquisite poem written with precision for what you wanted to say! May the winds be just a cool breeze of Autumn for you Lin! To excite your senses and to bring your heart with a joy expressed! What a fabulous piece, Great Work!!
