Songs My Soul Cried Ended the Psalms of Songs--Fourth Shadow Sonnet Challenge

~~~ Songs My Soul Cried Ended the Psalms of Songs ~~~ Grace was inside my soul, I’d love his grace Please my grace travel the world, find peace please Face of darkness of the deep grace did face Knees freeze and their prayers had no bowed knees Risks ensnared the soul waiting for life’s risks Perils times, beliefs lost liar’s perils Frisk my soul falsehood frolic death did frisk Morals abandon humanity; dung looted morals Known and unknown lost all grace they had known Peace was feared in the world, they hated peace Alone with lost faith, their soul all alone Ceased beliefs, lost their twin towers grace ceased Kiss of hell walked the Earth, souls did kiss Love healed hearts on the Sabbath that was love Bliss with no respect, cold souls mingled bliss Above, joy of life gone; hell now above Songs my soul cried, ended the psalms of songs Wrongs unforgiven, no life was dead wrongs. © 2015 DiLinda Adams, All Rights Reserved Fourth Shadow Sonnet – As you can see this does not meet the challenge guidelines in this pen. I added an extra stanza to keep the meaning I wanted to achieve. Please join in if you like; it has to rhyme, 10 syllable count and 14 lines to meet the challenge. However, if you just want to be creative please do. I cannot wait to see what you all are going to write about. a1xxxxxxxxa1 b1xxxxxxxxb1 a2xxxxxxxxa2 b2xxxxxxxxb2 c1xxxxxxxxc1 d1xxxxxxxxd1 c2xxxxxxxxc2 d2xxxxxxxxd2 e1xxxxxxxxe1 f1xxxxxxxxxf1 e2xxxxxxxxe2 f2xxxxxxxxxf2 g1xxxxxxxxxg1 g2xxxxxxxxxg2

The world is filled with hate and evil -- you don't need to look very long . . . a long list wrongs . . . but yet, yet their is still grace, a song in the wind, a love that stills seeks . . . seeking hearts that are hurting, wronged, lonely, a people crying for justice. Your poem speaks so much -- deep does it run and much more could and should be written. I will stop here and wish you love and light always.
