Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

The Deep Darkness, the Hope, Words Sent To Plead

The Deep Darkness, The Hope, Words Sent To Plead

I am lost, wicked world grants no reprieve
Castle of darkness, black-cast to deceive
Towers staggering in the boiling  mist
I that dare to shake my angry left fist
From the deep chasm, life is set to perish
Within fated storm lies all I cherish
Night- born horrors seem to forever last
I pray peace, such that was lost in the past.

The cold black ocean, its cavernous mouth
Winter's icy cold that sends life down South
No sanctuary, no joy to be had
Life and sorrows, seems all of it is bad.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, will it bright shine.
Allowing happy days on which to dine?

Lady Labyrinth December 2, 2020 at 8:28 AM not "Tomorrow"...but "Today"; / "Today is the day I have been looking for. All my life has been spent in preparation for it. Yesterday and tomorrow are faraway nothings- The one a faint memory, the other a vague promise. But this is my day. It offers all that God has to give, And I'm a laggard or a coward if I fail To make the most of it." Keep writing. Leanne xx

Jim Dunlap December 1, 2020 at 10:46 PM We'll hope so Robert. Life can be callous and cruel sometimes, and sometimes it can be beautiful. Good job on the poem. Beau travail.

Elaine George November 29, 2020 at 4:33 AM PS I read at the bottom of this poem, that you wrote it on Nov. 29th. Your soup mail to me was Nov 28, so I see you have decided to continue to share the great gift that God gave you! Like the song says...ONE DAY AT A TIME SWEET JESUS. With love and understanding from you friend, Elaine
