L Milton Hankins Poet Sonnet

Someday My Soul Shall Fly

Someday my soul shall fly to regions beyond
The confines of this earth’s miserable façade
I’ll know what until now has not yet dawned,
The first time I’ll be touching the face of God.
Behind the mysteries of the universe venture
Opening those vistas of incredible magnitude,
In what shall be my most elaborate adventure
Unhindered by this broken body’s low latitude.

For I shall have escaped the restrictions of life
Temporal and transitory, for ethereal reality,
Someday, somewhere, where there’s no strife
I shall be utterly free of all restricting lethality,
Roaming unrestricted through Eden’s loosestrife
Once again together with my beautiful wife.

Caren Krutsinger October 27, 2022 at 4:58 PM This is what we are all after "escaped the restrictions of life" L Milton Hankins October 27, 2022 at 9:05 PM Indeed, Caren. And I mean it...for I believe it is this physicality, this body with its many issues, that severely limits us.
