Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

On The Verge

Wishes lost to time will never come true,
till the impossible becomes the norm,
and the universe recognizes you,
not as the thirsty flower, but the storm!

Life's allotted time swiftly disappears,
as yesterdays outnumber tomorrows.
And having cried over a billion tears,
hope starts to drown in a sea of sorrows.

Can wishes and dreams ever be real,
like a pot of gold under each rainbow?
and if you believe, will you get to feel
God's love—will it miraculously show?

It's hard to pursue a fantasy dream,
when teetering on the verge of a scream!

Caren Krutsinger October 11, 2018 at 6:39 PM I have often thought this, but you were the first to actually write it down for me: "Do magic wishes ever become real is there a pot of gold for each rainbow?" Well done, Emile. So wonderful! Emile Pinet October 12, 2018 at 7:10 AM Thanks Caren, I appreciate your support my friend, Emile.

Lin Lane October 11, 2018 at 10:04 AM Dreams can and do come true, Emile. The 'reality bites' version takes place when the dream becomes a nightmare, and then it is possible to drown in sorrow. Your lines, "And the universe recognizes you not as the thirsty flower, but the storm!"...brilliant!
