Song of Life

Their duet lasted over sixty years
with each reflection, wrinkled lines designed
togetherness expanded over fears,
of failing bodies, being redesigned.
Though eyes seem younger than the passing times,
their yesterdays were gone to mem’ries field.
Now roads are closed, yet dreams begin their climb
while stealthy winds of silent changes yield.
Their visions rest within tomorrow’s sun,
eternity of richest scent of growth.
The graze of mystery, redeeming one
to fill his life with God, his centered oath.
The angels came to escort from the land
as song of life concluded, Master’s hand.

Just reviewing what you said here to my comment. Don't feel bad. I have many friends who find sonnets difficult. what do you usually write. Free verse people have the most difficulty with them. I think you are doing well with this one going by the looser definition of the modern sonnet and not always using iambic pentameter. It still has much the feel of classic sonnet!

Thank you for the encouragement. I still plug away writing sonnets. I don't like to be bested when muse is fighting with me.... Janet
