On Dark Dying Sunless Beams I Went To Wait

On Dark Dying Sunless Beams I Went To Wait Destined to be valor was a granite block World had no idea what lay ahead; Intuition was dreamed, I lay in bed, Even to this soul, my power became a shock! Yet you my darling in your blinding light Why on weeping earth did you race to leave? Gifting dire lonesome sifted through a seeve As your comet fled into dark of crying night. In your lost paradise you call my name But I vanished away into a galactic herd You then fell like a perishing little redbird And sad truth was nobody won that sick game. On dark dying sunless beams I went to wait. While you lived sad, eating only your deep hate. Robert J. Lindley, sonnet Jan 5th 1976
