Sonnet, ( Life Finally Teaches Us That Time Never Waits)
Note-
Saddest notes played in late midnight hours,
are regrets falling like rain from darkened towers
yet no man is immune from this darken curse
for life is a play lived with no time to rehearse.

Life Flees, As If Faint Whispers In Moaning Winds As fleeting hours flew into eternal abyss once youth and love imagined to dream so went grave error that time allows this facing life, always with full head of steam. We marvel at the beauty of ancient oaks majestic towers stretching to eager skies oft captured in the glory of artistic strokes yet burdened by this world of worldly lies. Weep not for more, for dying is our Fate and task of living well often most hard if one has learned and loved, they can relate evil world is a test, just ask any bard. Life flees, as if faint whispers in moaning winds. Yet we all feign power, to so mold how it ends. Robert J. Lindley,10-10-2018 Sonnet, ( Life Finally Teaches Us That Time Never Waits)

My dear friend, your deep poem rings with thoughtful and meaningful truths. Your glorious sonnet so beautifully expresses how life, and trying to live it well, is but a brief whisper in the winds of Fate. Your couplet is especially insightful to close this splendid and profound poem, Robert. A shining gem of rare beauty! Warmest wishes always my wonderful friend.. ~Susan

Earthly life is a play for love...we as vessels decide what to do with it...we are all born out of love...we all have the capacity for love...how much we want to give or take, is up to us...so we learn...superb write my friend...love & light...^WW^

Beautifully written and stated Robert. Your poem holds a deep meaning that is so truthful. Life is fleeting and it is up to us to make it what it is or will be.
