The gate opens inward

Ghostly fear forms, a dark gossamer web, caged my consciousness once cradled by bliss but try as I might, my pain did not ebb, hurtling me down a bottomless abyss. Feeling grief-stricken, situation grave, my weary, groaning soul godforsaken, searched for heaven’s gate, so that God may save me from dark despair that left mind shaken. Trauma bonding with fear no more, I paused, shifting to heart, pushing open love’s gate, engulfed in bliss mists, pure intent had caused, breath by breath reshaping my earth life fate. Walking the path of light, God-search I start ~ He dwells in the cave of my glowing heart

Dear Seeker, your sonnet is adorned with wonderful rhymes and thought provoking imagery. Great use of alliterations and the emboldened words, and a fantastic finale. I especially enjoyed that last line! Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan

Thank you, Susan dear. The alliterations are spoonfed, being words required by Constance for her contest.
