Its Gleaming Light-Beams Washing My Old Soul

Its Gleaming Light-Beams Washing My Old Soul

So sad about some far-off hidden things
That are not my business, no not me
Washing these feet in such soothing hot springs
No not I, nosey as a damn ole busy bee!

Along the mountains, its jutting ridges
I walk admiring that fabulous star
Cross I the famous great seven bridges
This heart yet blinded wondering where we are!

Its gleaming light-beams washing my old soul
Saw evening as it slowly crept in
My worries stabbed me taking their deep toll
I a warrior but heavy are my sins!

There walked with majesty, the black-maned boar.
Snout rutting the ground, to find its next score!

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
Jan. 5th, 1979
